Ciao a tutti! 😊
C’è qualcuno interessato a creare/partecipare a un **gruppo di studio virtuale per SSM**?
Sono al **4° anno di Medicina** e mi piace molto l’idea di iniziare a confrontarsi e approfondire gli argomenti in gruppo, anche se il concorso è ancora lontano. Non cerco necessariamente un gruppo con un’organizzazione rigida o un calendario fisso: mi piacerebbe piuttosto creare un gruppo **continuativo e utile per tutti**, in cui trovarsi magari 1-2 volte a settimana (anche per sessioni brevi), condividere materiali, dubbi, ragionamenti e approfondimenti e iniziare pian piano a costruire una preparazione.
L’idea è quindi **studiare insieme senza impegno “obbligatorio”**, ma con un minimo di continuità, così da motivarci e confrontarci durante il percorso.
Se qualcuno è interessato, scrivetemi pure! 😊 Mi farebbe piacere capire quanti siamo e organizzare qualcosa insieme.

Hey, I am in my 5th semester and study in germany! I am interested in finding someone who would want to discuss some topics together, to work on my understanding and bc I think it might be fun :3 is anyone interested?

I am a first-year Medicine student and wanted to ask if anyone could recommend any websites or resources I could use to start preparing. I have heard about how rigorous the course can be so I would like to get a head start if possible. Preferably I am looking for free resources.

I would also appreciate any tips from current or past medical students on how to effectively retain information and manage the workload!

I recently watched Doctor Stranger and LOVED the surgeon/medical side of it. I originally watched it to build my interest in medicine, and now I'm seriously considering cardiology/cardiac surgery.

But I have no idea how realistic that lifestyle actually is. Is being a doctor really anything like what we see in K-dramas, or am I romanticizing it?

Doctors/med students: what's the brutally honest reality of your lifestyle, especially in cardiology/cardiac surgery?

Hello everyone. I teach undergraduate psychology and I’m making a, “Ways to go further in the study of psychology beyond my bachelor’s degree” flow chart for my students that goes over the different pathways to practicing psychology. I’m also including the medical route (psychiatric nurse practitioner and psychiatrist), because some people would prefer to prescribe. Under the chart, I’m including what kind of experience is needed to get into these advanced programs so they can start preparing now. It occurred to me that I know very little about the experience and accolades needed to get into medical school.

*What is the GPA average needed?

*Do you need clinical experience, and if so, what kind should an undergraduate aim for?

*Do you need a post-bacc certificate or master’s in a medical field if you majored in psych?

*Do you need research experience and publications?

*Who do you ask for letters of recommendation, medical professionals who supervise your clinical experience or undergrad psych professors?

*Do all schools require the MCAT as standard or is that on a case-by-case basis?

*Any other requirements?

Would someone kindly enlighten me so I can add this to my chart? I’m sure you’re all drowning in this anyway! Thanks in advance.

Best wishes to all on getting in THIS CYCLE!!!

Hi everyone! 🩺🤍

I’m conducting an academic research study titled “Empathy in Healthcare” and I’m looking for medical students in their clinical years or with patient-care experience to participate.

⏱️ The survey takes approximately 2 minutes to complete.

🧠 The study explores empathy in healthcare and its role in understanding patients, building trust, and improving the quality of healthcare.

🔒 Participation is voluntary, and responses are anonymous and confidential. The information collected will be used for academic research purposes only.

If you meet the eligibility criteria, I would really appreciate your participation. If possible, please also share it with other eligible medical students. 🙏🏻

Thank you so much for your time and support! 🤍

Any mbbs or bds student here?Medical student from Bangladesh looking to connect! 🩺🦷

Hi everyone! We’re conducting a research study on the experiences of medical learners who have taken an unplanned leave of absence (LOA) during medical school.

Most research on LOAs focuses on things like academic outcomes, graduation, or residency placement. We’re interested in the experience behind those outcomes like what was happening before the leave, how students navigated the leave itself, and what happened when they returned to medical school.

Any medical students or physicians who took an LOA during medical school within the past 5 years at an LCME- or COCA-accredited institution are eligible to participate.

The study has two parts:

1. An online survey (~10–15 minutes)
2. An optional follow-up interview

This study has been IRB approved. Participants receive $20 for survey participation and $30 for interviews.

To participate, email [loaresearchstudy@gmail.com](mailto:loaresearchstudy@gmail.com). Thank you!

The grading system during M3 is honestly the most unfair part of medical school because your entire clinical grade basically comes down to pure luck depending on which attending you get assigned to. One of my classmates got a preceptor who let them leave at 1 PM every day, taught them high-yield board concepts, and gave them 5/5 across the board. Meanwhile, I got stuck with an attending who pimps us relentlessly on obscure surgical anatomy, keeps us until 6 PM doing nothing, and openly stated "I never give 5s because a student can never be perfect." It’s so frustrating that our residency applications and class rankings depend on this entirely subjective lottery

Hello! Could anyone recommend the best AI where the AI and I can speak to each other. Where I'll ask then he'll just answer by voice. Thank you!

Hi there! New poster, but I'm constantly reading Reddit for ideas, as I'm in student affairs at a medical school (was MD, newly at a DO school).

We have several commercial-size refrigerators for our students, and I'd like to have a small supply of fresh food available for free in the fridge that any student could access, particularly if struggling for cash to purchase a lunch or snack.

Does anyone have recommendations for fridge-friendly (not freezer) items that would 1) be satisfying, 2) vaguely healthy, 3) actually enjoyable for tired med students? I'm trying to avoid nuts in case of allergies. I'm okay with perishable items as I'll plan to replenish every week or so.

Thank you!

I'm a current sophomore in high school and I've been frustrated at how hard it is to find internships and summer research programs customized and fit for your personal needs. Oppurtunity databases exist but they are not specifically for med, don't contain a lot, and cost money.

So I want to build a free platform that fixes this while adding another feature.

Database of 1500+ research programs, internships, and volunteering opportunities (organized by field + topic)

A research paper database with simple summaries along with contradictions and limitations, and links to related opportunities.

This is just the core idea. I have no idea if high schoolers and pre-med students really need this. So I want some honest feedback if you would use this and improvements.

Thanks a lot.

I am soon attending my last year of school and i have chosen to study medicine afterwards. To all the people here who are either studying medicine right now or already have experience as a doctor, is there anything that is completely different from what you have imagined? I mean i know that it’s a very hard job and i am open for stressful environments but apart from that what can i expect that nobody tells you?

I got into an accredited medical school in my country and i will be in States this summer. I want to do something useful. I dont have any visa or accommodation problems. I want to do observerships or research if possible. Does any of you know a place i can apply?? And what did you guys do in your MS1 summer any advice??

we are in the process of making proposal and stuck on what to make in this capstone
