Urology Resident - AMA!
SDN was an extremely helpful resource for me years ago when I was applying to medical school, so I thought it would be nice to give back. I'm now a urology resident and loving it, happy to share more about the best kept secret in medicine. AMA! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

The academy way...
Dear colleagues,
I want to ask about your idea about my current situation. Of course, some problems can be a matter of my current place (Turkey) or my personal problems (such as long time anxiety and obsessive personality); I'm very open to your critique, suggestions, and fun
A little background(also available in SDN previous posts): graduated in 2010, one-year of being a rural practitioner, 5 years of urology residency, consultant urologist in different state hospitals since 2016, now...

21 year old female with borderline polycythemia & elevated iron - next step?
21 y/o Female, caucasian, otherwise healthy. Not on any meds. No supplements.
Abnormal labs
Iron - 162
TIBC - 455

Nephrology fellowship 2020-21/ Temple nephrology
Starting a new thread for nephrology 2020-21, did not see one (please direct me to one if I missed it). I recently came to know from one of our year 3 IM residents that due to COVID19 pandemic, almost all fellowship interviews this year are virtual, and that most applicants are trying to stay in the same geographical area/ interviewing with programs where they did residencies/ medical school before. I personally felt that visiting a program and interviewing with 6-7 faculty members, and...

MCAT AAMC BB Section Bank #27
Which statement regarding STRA6-mediated retinol uptake is best supported by the passage?
Retinol uptake activity by STRA6 is limited without the presence of intracellular binding proteins.
The expression of STRA6 is likely to be higher in the liver than in target organs.
Retinol uptake activity by STRA6 is accelerated when retinol is stored as intracellular retinol rather than as retinyl esters.
Binding of holo-RBP to STRA6 is likely to have a Hill coefficient greater...

Hospitalist vs ID vs Nephrology
Which amongst these non-procedural field have a better job outlook?
1. Stable salary
2. Better lifestyle and job satisfaction
3. Less midlevel encroachment
4. Easier path to CCM (NephCCM vs ID-CCM)
I like hospital medicine but don't like collaborating with midlevels. I'm hearing over the next few years hospitalist will be replaced by NP/PA. Will ID/Nephrology be easier for midlevels to encroach? I'm fine with 200-230k pay if my skill set is unique from midlevels. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

A quick rehash of cardiorenal syndrome Type 1 for IM docs
Cardiorenal syndrome, a frustrating diagnostic entity
We have all been there as doctors, when a patient comes in with acute heart failure exacerbation and the Cr is noticeably elevated from the baseline. A nephrologist simply mutters, “This is all cardiorenal syndrome- carry on with diuresis.” A cardiologist nods in agreement and the only frustrating person in the group hurdle is you, who is left scratching your head. When you ask for more explanation, it usually begins “Well there...

Urology vs ENT.... Or Plastics
Medical Student here. I started medical school thinking i wanted to be a cardiac surgeon after doing a year of research in cardiology prior to medschool. Unfortunately, after watching 20 odd CABG I’ve realised cardiac surgery isn’t for me, I want a speciality that is a little broader.
So as an overview I would like to be in a surgical speciality which offers:
- Diversity both in patient population and procedures
- A medical and diagnostic element
- Reconstructive in nature
- A bonus would...
