Going to optometry for routine checks?
Hope this doesn't get flagged as asking for medical advice. But my question is, how often should someone go to optometry to just get their comprehensively checked? Assuming they don't need glasses, and they're 20/20 at their annual PCP check, and have no other systemic disease that directly affect the eye, how often should they see an optometrist for a screening type check?

Disciplinary Hold
I graduated during January of 2024. I was notified that I had damaged the wall which was caused from accidentally hitting the wall while moving out around January (I moved out December). I was told I’d be contacted by the Office of Student Conduct, at which point I thought nothing of as it was an accident. Fast forward to April: I wanted to see how to request my transcript. I had received no communication at this point regarding my case. However, when I tried to request, it said I was placed... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

WAMC/Potential Reapplicant (3.88, 521) ORM, OH resident
Hi everyone! I applied this past '23-'24 cycle with 1 gap year (applied after my senior year).

Letters of Recommendation help
Hi, I’m making a school list and I’m seeing different schools require 2 science faculty letters while others ask for one. In your opinion, how strict are these rules/should I post on the specific schools subreddit? I have one letter from a science teacher, physician, and volunteer coordinator so I’m wondering is it even worth applying to these schools where I don’t meet the requirement for letters? Is there leniency? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Options for no nights, holidays or weekends
What options do emergency physicians have for gigs that are no nights, holidays or weekends? And 8-10 shifts per month? Does it exist? I'm thinking maybe a locums or part-time gig? Or telehealth? Maybe a medical consultant? (Source: Student Doctor Network)
