Learning neuroradiology as a medical student?
Just finished my neurology rotation and I noticed that one area I struggled with was following the team during morning rounds where neuroradiology cases were discussed. Seems like the residents are miles ahead in interpreting MRIs, CTs, etc. I did great on shelf content but I feel like I don't entirely understand neuroradiology since medical schools (or at least my school) don't even teach the basics of neuroradiology (let alone the basics of others forms of radiology). Are there any...

Schools that have an emphasis on education?
Sorry if this has already been asked, I tried searching but couldn't find a similar thread. Does anyone know of any schools that put an emphasis on education? I have a lot of tutoring and teaching in my application. Education is something I'm passionate about and influenced my journey to medicine, and I think it comes across in my application. I'm trying to make my school list right now and find schools whose missions I "fit", so that's why I was looking for this guidance. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Advice needed on writing secondary
I am not sure if I am going in the right direction. Could people give me advice on whether these topics would be appropriate to write about or not?
Diversity:
- Perspective of coming from another country. I came to the US after graduating from Junior HIgh and I thought I could highlight the differences between two different countries in terms of culture, society, etc.
- Teaching students of different backgrounds (culture, knowledge).
Challenge/adversity/failure
- I wrote about how I got...

NYITCOM (OW) vs VCOM (VA)
Please help me decide. I know that both schools are fine schools with long lasting reputation and respected institutions. Both have great board scores, research opportunities, and match results. But there are only a few factors that make me unsure.
I’m interested in EM and general surgery mainly. But will keep my options open. Would also like to do academic teaching in the future.
NYITCOM
Pros:
- pass/fail
- closer to home (2hrs drive)
Cons:
- expensive ($63K+) and high cost of...

Practical Endo Tips for Students IG account
Hi all,
My name is Dr. Gordon Lai, I am an endodontist who works part time in private practice and also teach the dental students clinically at UOP. I created an IG account (predoc_endo_tips) awhile back for my students to help address some of the most common issues I see they struggle with and their most common questions.
One of my students had suggested I post about the account here as a resource for other dental students as well. In case you are interested in checking it out here is...

Obtaining free hyaluronidase?
Crossposting from the dermatology forum:
I'm wondering if anyone has advice on how to obtain free hyaluronidase for our cosmetic teaching sessions. We have tons of filler, neurotoxin, etc, through various resident cosmetic grants, but I can't find any resources for obtaining hyaluronidase. We currently borrow it from our cosmetic attending, but it would be ideal to get our own supply for multiple reasons. Thank you! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

CRC/Research Position or Teaching + PT PCT/CNA during gap years?
Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice -- unfortunately, this might be long so I apologize in advance.
I graduated earlier this month with a BS in chemistry. I thought I had a job lined up as a CRC at a major research university which is an hour commute from home (not ideal), and HR was merely waiting for proof of graduation. However, three weeks after I sent my final transcript, I learn that I am now being considered against other candidates which is frustrating and means that I might not...

Biochem grade
Okay, how really bad is getting an A- in Biochem?
My prof literally said she teaches Biochem like a 400-level class (Biochem is a 300-level course in our school) so it's more "in-depth," but I don't think that can be explained anywhere on my application.
Will adcom raise eyebrows when seeing this grade on my transcript? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

The Clash - Should I Stay or Should I go?
IDuring my undergraduate work and teaching overseas, I was introduced to medicine and all it could do to alleviate suffering especially in underserved countries and communities. I fell in love with surgery in central India. I was determined to return to the states and pursue medicine incorporating it into my undergraduate degree and medical mission work. Since my undergrad was a bachelor of arts and the bio-chem sciences had been an uphill battle in high school, I started with a nursing...
