All Activity

I will be there. Come hear my Sunday evening talk!

Good luck to everyone!!

Good luck everyone

Sure, I can dm you or vice versa

Is your goal to work in trauma or a similar field? Is your job offer in trauma? Do you need the additional training to build your confidence or are you looking at completing the fellowship for additional specialized training and opportunities?

I am also a second time applicant, applied on 4/28 and CASPA verified but haven't received confirmation from the school yet!

I got off too! Is there a Facebook page, GroupMe, or anything similar that I can join? I would love to meet my future classmates!

Hi everyone! I thought I would start up the forum for this cycle. Good luck to all of you applying this year!

I just graduated and I have an interview for a local Trama Fellowship. The pay is really low and the hours are high. I already have a well paying job offer I can start after I take the PANCE. I'm wondering, for those of you who have done a Fellowship, is it worth it?

One of the harder schools to get into it seems, so I wish everyone the best too!

Congrats to all those who were accepted so far. I am a current student in the cohort so feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions regarding housing, curriculum, documents needed, etc. For those still waiting to hear back, good luck to you all. Remember the faculty members who are reviewing your apps are also practicing clinicians on top of being professors as well. They are very busy and it is a very busy time for them right now. My class is about to find out our clinical site rotations for next year, so they are working on that and we have a lot of events going on around the community that many of the staff are actively involved in as well. I know its hard, but be patient and try to remain positive. *For context, most of my class did not hear back until mid Jun - Late July last year

Good luck everyone!

I'm curious, is this what the hand folks have advised you do?

Definitely

Did anyone get accepted into the arcadia program with a 3.2 prereq GPA? I have over a 3.4 overall, so I'm hoping that 2000+ PCE and over 1500+ HCE, as well as some volunteering will make up for the 3.2 prereq that I calculated (unless I did the math wrong lol).

Patient was tachy, so getting a D Dimer to start the PE workup would be a good idea. I never do a CRP, but I always check a BNP, to eval for heart strain, e.e. from PE. Consider demand ischemia, but those trops are higher than I would expect if that was the case. How was the pt's kidney function?

I generally xray to evaluate for any FB, even wood. I tape an unbent paper clip to the skin with the end at the puncture wound so I have a reference point if I have to try and remove the FB. I usually cover with Keflex, sometimes add Bactrim for suspected MRSA. In an ED, you could probably also go looking with U/S.
