- New physician grads: do not put your home address down when you register for your NPI number. Make sure you put down the hospital address! Otherwise, your home address will be out there for all to see! (Your NPI information is available easily via google). #MedTwitter
- Dear schools... there is no need to put MCAT scores in the student's MSPE. No one cares. That ship has sailed.
- PSA: #Match2022 applicants - we will NOT know if you submit ERAS today vs Sept 28th. Do not feel pressured to submit it all and have it “perfect” today. You still have some weeks to go!
- Two interview slots this week went unused due to a no call no show and a super last minute cancellation. There’s lots of people who would have loved to have those slots. Try to be considerate of your peers in this process. #PSA
- I went to the doctor today because I was forced to. 3 people have asked me the exact same questions so far and I haven’t even seen the doctor yet. It rough out here for our patients. I can definitely understand their frustrations with the system.
- PSA for consultants: If you come down to the ED and refer to us as Triage Doctors... repeatedly... be prepared for the response. I promise it won’t be pleasant. - your friendly neighborhood ED physician.
- Folks… please show up on time to rotations.. look interested… pretend to care… stay in top of your patient’s progress… these things alone will get you at minimum a pass, maybe even a high pass. They will also get you a decent LOR. Not doing them guarantees a bad one.
- PSA: There are many ERs in the ED. The specialty is EM.
- Reading some more applications.. and wowed. Class of 2022, y’all are out here kicking butt!! I’m so impressed!! Let that imposter syndrome go. Y’all have ARRIVED. #match2022
- #MedTwitter - For those who are first gen in medicine, what things do you wish your family knew or understood about your journey, life, career that would have helped you excel? @FirstGenMD
- Today's lesson learned: Just book directly through the airlines. You are doing yourself a disservice by using the 3rd party sites. That is all.
