Hello folks! I haven't posted on SDN or visited the site for a long time. Well, I am also applying to PCCM this year, and thought that I'd post both (a) my interviews and (b) a question. I don't know my % rankings, but my USMLE scores are in the 200s-210s. I have some really amazing...

Mike Meighan is STILL there!? Wow, it's been 8 years since I took that class. I have no experience with Duke. I went to Cal, loved it there, but never was involved with the "pre-med" advising thing. I had almost zero guidance, but didn't have a problem with that. It is true that Cal does...

anyone have UCSF's match list?

Hello to the OP. I looked this up for you. Try this thread - it is the osteopathic school match lists: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=175626 You will have to "sift" through the info (the thread is 6 pgs long!), but I did see a couple of Mt Sinai hospitals and affiliates...

I agree with the above poster, but here are some additional points. #1: Program-specific LOR: I did an away rotation at a program between Oct-Nov, and was able to have an attending write a letter of rec on my behalf. I had him specifically write a letter for the program only (and not a...

Maybe she was a midwife before she started medical school? On the topic of the blogs: Good way to express your personal opinions/thoughts, but never really have done this myself. On the topic of the "critqued" OB/Gyn resident: If what she states is true regarding the resident's...

I was surprised by these results, too! :confused: My "original class" was 2006, and I think that 5+ matched into the UCSD IM program that year (including research investigator pathway and med/peds). Unfortunately, I don't know as many students this year. But, of those that I spoke with...

UCSD posts their match list on the Student Portal, so I re-compiled the list without the names of students. I'm not sure if all the Prelim/Transitional/Categorical for Internal Med or Gen Surg are correct, but otherwise should be legit. :) Anesthesiology - 8 UCSD (Prelim @ St. Mary's Med...

hey smilies! I'll be your co-intern next year. :) I'm pretty excited about the program myself, and I've heard excellent things about it. I was there for a Heme/Onc consult rotation, but had little interaction with any residents (the rotation was with 2 fellows and an attending). However, I...

I still consider it "chill" relative to my own medical school! I plan to work hard and I am not naive enough to think that it will be easy by anyone's standards. ;) I do, however, believe my life will be a little more bearable than people in certain (unnamed) residency programs. I am one of...

I don't know what the norm is for programs. I know that UC Davis sent us an introduction e-mail a few hours after the match. Also, the program director contacted us directly via telephone. Which program did you match to? Maybe someone else from this form was also accepted and can give you...

I didn't realize how "chill" UC Davis was compared to my own med school (UCSD)! I love it... Wards - 6 blk, Q5 MICU and CCU- 2 blk, Q4? Heme/Onc - 1 blk ER/NF - 1 blk Amb Care - 2 blk (1 block = 4 wks)

UC Davis. Yes! I'm so happy that I'm staying in Cali.... Congrats to everyone. :)

Hey all, I have a very strong interest in International/Global Health and I originally planned on pursuing an I.D. fellowship. However, I spent one month of 4th year on a Heme/Onc consult month, and I really liked it! Unfortunately, I have limited experience with Heme/Onc in the setting...
