    PSA: If you are a DO student and anyone is “advising” that you do not need the USMLE they are flat out wrong. Take the test, and keep as many options as possible open no matter what specialty you pursue. You shouldn’t have to debate or contemplate this, just take both tests.

    Very bitter / sweet match day today. I had some great mentees/friends/basically family that didn’t match ortho, and some that did. Unfortunately, the “game” is always evolving between P/F boards, signaling, and medical school expansion. I am going to put together an

    Students, if you want to excel on your audition rotations nothing is more important than simply being mentally and physically PRESENT. Show up early. Be attentive and engaged. Stay off your phone. Be the last person to leave. All within your sphere of influence. #Match2024

    Boards becoming P/F is going to make the ortho match rate even scarier. More will apply because they won’t self select out after 2nd year research year is almost a must unless you have significant output / connections during med school The game is changing Will be interesting

    All of these paid “mentorship” subscriptions for medical students popping up on social media are so cringe/predatory. Do not pay for mentorship. They are not your mentor, they are using your anxiety for cash flow and hoping for “mail box money”. Plenty of real mentors out

    If you are a DO planning to audition for orthopaedic surgery next year and need someone to review your plan I’m happy to help. @TylerWillUIW is also a good person to have look at this. The difference between matching / not is heavily influenced by your audition strategy.
