Teaching Assistantships on CV (neuro)
As a second year PhD student, I am in the midst of building my CV for internship. I am curious if TA positions actually add significant value to a CV, specifically to land a neuro internship at an AMC or VA. By the time I apply to internship, I will most likely TA for a variety of courses (e.g., cognitive assessment, experimental psych, psychopathology, stats, research design, neuropsych, CBT). These all have lab components in which I am supervising or teaching graduate or undergrad...

Southern Illinois University (SIU) vs Rosalind Franklin University (RFU) (vs Drexel)
Hey guys, I'm currently on a waitlist for my top school, but in the meantime, I have to choose between SIU and Drexel. I've listed a few pros and cons, according to a thread on reddit with Residency Director scoring, SIU and Drexel are literally next to each other, if that matters at all (both pretty low).
SIU
Pros
Close to home
Lower tuition (~60k per year)
Dedicated teaching hospital
Smaller classes (argument for being easier to stand out)
Cons
Name not...

Academic psychiatry
What exactly does a career in academic psychiatry look like (salary comparison, quality of life, daily routine) besides the obvious component of being able to teach and/or do research? Or, to put it another way - what are the reasons not to do academic psychiatry? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Service orientation vs teaching/tutoring questions
Hi -
I didn't want to derail someone else's thread, so I made my own.
My major non-clinical volunteering activity was tutoring literacy skills for teenage boys ages 12-21 incarcerated at a juvenille detention facility. Youths would get referred to us by the school staff because they were reading far below grade level and needed the one-on-one to improve their reading comprehension skills to be able to eventually pass the GED or have better success in the credit recovery online high...

How long after non complicated vaginal birth is it safe to perform an open tubal ligation?
I currently work in a high volumen OB/GYN hospital. Today OB filed a complaint against one of our attendings because he will only do a tubal ligation 6 hours after birth. I usually have them wait 30 min after birth just to make sure there’s no bleeding or any funny bussiness (this is a teaching hospital After all).
I took a deep on this topic but I didn’t find anything conclusive, what’s you take on this? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Help Me Decide: Stony Brook vs Hofstra
Having trouble picking between these schools .
For context: I’m unsure on what specialty I want to pursue, but am leaning towards non-surgical (IM, Cardio, Neuro, EM, Anesthesia). I do want to go to a school where I have the most opportunity to match into competitive specialties or fellowship in the future and don’t want to close any doors for myself. I’m also interested in academic medicine (primarily for teaching rather than research) and would like to match into residency in a big...
