GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 For those who are old school BS only, any of these programs being discussed allow applicants to skip the MS step? If so, and I had spent the cash on the MS upgrade to stay competitive, I’d be perturbed. I didn’t have the energy for the MS and definitely wouldn’t have had the energy to do it a second time, much less factoring in the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MediMike Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Forget "old school", I'm a 2015 grad of UW and tout my BS all over town. Was looking at UTRGV as the cheapest and quickest bridge to MS but thanks for the NOVA link EM, food for thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Legit question. Could one just resubmit the same research paper for a Doctorate as they used for the MS, especially if a different program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality Check 2 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 The federal govt doesn’t care about my degree. I am already at the ceiling of govt grade and class. Nowhere to go, no more pay. These degrees won’t improve my patient care abilities. I cannot afford this with kids in college. The only thing that might help me is Healthcare Administration Masters if I ever choose the dark side - queue up the Darth Vader music..... So, it worries me some, but I don’t feel pressured to do anything at this time and don’t have funding to do so. For now, I got a Bachelors and in my 27th year.....

For now, I got a Bachelors and in my 27th year..... our hospital has started a ladder pay grade now which is similar to the nursing ladder. the only way to advance up is to get higher degrees and publish articles. It literally has nothing related to patient care or skills. But hey, enroll in a masters or Doctorate program and you get a pay raise for literally no skills related to patient care. needless to say I'm leaving to start a job at a competing hospital down the street for more money, a sign on bonus and my current employer owes me 270 PTO hours they have to pay me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paula Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I'm in with GMOOTM's letter he got from his Medical Licensing Board. Can you send me a template? I'll send it to the WI Medical Examining Board, and then we can just jettison our legislation for OTP cuz I'm pretty sure I can convince the MEB to let us take a test or do one hour of study/listen to a youTube video on how to become a doctor. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoTrion Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I was looking at Lynchburg personally. Do they also require a fellowship as well, or do they use your current practice as a fellowship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
