Anyone going to Medschool

[Darrkman]

You're not going to medical school for the social life...you're going there to finish school to get MD or DO by your name...look for how the school is going to assist you in graduating...I've seen super intelligent people flunk out of med school because they couldn't get by classes or the boards...you need to find out what the support system of the school is like, especially for minority students...this is as real as real talk gets, so please take heed to my advice...congratulations on your acceptances...

This is the smartest thing anyone has said. Don't go to med school looking to fuck. That will come. Go there and look for people that look like you to help you get through the years. My wife had a core group of Black people she hung with in med school that helped keep her sane. If it wasn't for that and the fact that they will help you with studying she would of been upset.

Those frinds you make in med school (and residency) will stay with you for the rest of your career.

I would stay away from all black colleges cause sometimes they tend to hurt or limit your chances of finding employment. When u become a doctor, you will soon realize it's almost as if u'r joining a fraternaty where everybody knows everybody or at least have heard of everbody by name or thru seminars, lectures etc etc,. around the country. Because of that, most black colleges don't get the recognition they deserve by employers as other schools do.


As a med student, resident or fellow, if you can get into Duke, Harvard, Yale, Stanford etc,. u pretty much can write your own ticket as to anywhere in the states you want to work and it gives you leverage when it comes to salary negotiations. I know this from first hand experience.

As far as u'r social life goes, u better be booed up cause you won't have any social life once you hit med school. As a doctor in training, u'r life will become your work, sometimes literally around the clock. If u have a girlfriend or a wife, her schedule, work and life is gonna have to revolve around yours. Make sure wifey is ready for that kind of commitment cause it is very demanding be a doctor and trying to have a relationship is tough.

Be prepared that most likely you will be relocating evey couple yrs while in the process of becoming a doctor. Cause once you finish med school and apply for residency, u'r training might not be in an ideal city you want to live in for whatever reason. But that is the only handfull of schools that are willing to take you. After u'r 3-4 yrs of residency is done, u'r gonna have to relocate again to do u'r 1-2 yrs of fellowship (assuming you wanna specialize in a certain area) prolly half way across the country.

Some doctors are real cool and have personality where u can see u'r self hanging out with them outside of work/school. While others are like world class pricks or assholes and you have to tolerate them. Be prepared to be subserviant, doctors in the south are put on a pedastol. I liken it to a be a celebrity down there almost where you get treated differently or with special attention. It's not as blatant but when u'r around that kind of social circle as a doctor in training, u can feel the hierarchy of distinction and where everybody belongs on the food chain, sometimes even base on how u'r treated. That is one of the few complaints I had about being in the south. I just hated that though, it must be a cultural thing.

Man, you stay sounding like a dumbass but having a screen name like you do...

WTF are you talking about? Getting into med school is not the same as getting into law school. If you get into an accredited med school, are able to stick it out for the 4 yrs you're there and do well, and are able to pass your boards or USMLEs then you're set to get a job at SOME hospital. Sure it's looked at as being more prestigious to graduate from an Ivy league med school just like any other program (both undergrad and graduate) but that doesn't make or break you in your career. I know doctors that are successful that went to med school in the Caribbean and were able to pass the USMLEs. So all that you just wrote is bullshit.

Oh, and how the fuck does an educated person such as yourself either not have spell check working or have that many damn typos and misspellings in your posts?

Lying ass negro...

10 yrs ago like a surgeon I would have carved & flamed u'r ass for that response. But being older, I will take the road less travelled and steer u'r mis-guided ass in the right direction for a change.

Where you go to med school makes a big difference in the United States especially if it's a specialized field. Depending on what school you go to, you can virtually write your own ticket as far as your future is concerned. U seem to lack comprehension skills cause no where did I ever say that you can only make it as a doctor if you attend an ivy league school. U can go to a lesser known school and still become a doctor but the road can be a lot harder especially when the medical field culture is like a fraternity among specialized doctors. I work with the motherfuckers all the time, I should know. For example if u'r an ophthamology specialist, and a hospital or private practice is choosing between a resident/fellow graduate from Duke as oppose to a lesser known school, the Duke graduate is gonna get preference everytime. It doesn't always mean the education is any better perse(even though most times it is), but it's all about the brand name.

I can guarantee you that those doctors who went to med school in the carribbean, if competing against Duke, Harvard, Stanford, Yale grads etc, for a position they would have lost out everytime. I can guarantee you that 100%. Like I said "100" negro. Of course it doesn't mean they wouldn't eventually get jobs, of course not. The confusing part is that, all of this should be understood. U'r a grown ass man so why do I need to go out of my way to break this down to you like a fuckin 10 yr old????

U clamied you were a comic book writer and u'r shit is or was up on one of the BGOL affliate forums, did you or did you not say that?

relocating every couple of years? only if you're getting fired from a program. who wants to do 2 years just to go to another program and start all over??? there's no guarantee you'll be able to just pick up where you left off.

and a handful of programs willing to take you? there is a PLETHORA of programs needing competent residents. just look at websites like residentswap, or ama-assn.org, or studentdr.net.

I asked about the social scene cause in Undergrad I was focused on my studies doing volunteer work and research. So I didn't party much and I was at UTK. However that is my fault and now I need to focus.

Here's evidence for your non-professor ass...

From: Institute for Good Medicine at the Pennsylvania Medical Society http://www.goodmedicine.org/MainMenu/Mentoring/Becomingphysician/StudentFAQ.aspx

A person accepted into a medical school and enrolled in an educational program in medicine, with the goal of becoming a medical doctor, is referred to as a medical student or student doctor. Medical students are generally considered to be at the earliest stage of the medical career pathway. In some locations they are required to be registered with a government body.


Medical students typically engage in both basic science and practical clinical coursework during their tenure in medical school. [18] Course structure and length vary greatly among countries (see above).
Upon completion of medical school in the United States, students transition into residency programs through the National Residency Match Program (NRMP). Each year, approximately 16,000 US medical school students participate in the residency match. An additional 18,000 independent applicants—former graduates of US medical schools, US osteopathic students, Canadian students, and graduates of foreign medical schools—compete for the approximately 25,000 available residency positions.

Taken from the American Association of Medical Colleges website: http://www.aamc.org/data/facts/start.htm

Now, let's do the math, if you have 25,000 available residency positions with an additional ~18,000 former med school students from the U.S., Canada and Caribbean that are competing with those that are possibly going to graduate once they have matriculated into med school in the U.S., you mean to tell me no residency programs have ever hired Canadian, foreign and Caribbean med school graduates?

I swear you make no fucking sense. Like Buk and I said before, you stay contradicting your screen name.

Oh, and since when did med school students go into a specialty before their residencies and before they graduated from med school?

EXACTLY!
Like I said Buk, I just served this nigga up on a skewer. Dude provided no evidence to back up his dumbass claims yet expects someone who has a genuine interest in the medical profession to take his work as bond.

There’s a good reason why U can’t make it as a comic book writer LMAO. U’r mind is very infertile and is incapable of giving birth to anything of value or substance. The OP made a thread about going to med school and along the lines mentioned what his social life would be like.

IF u’r gonna train to be a doctor, there is never a guarantee u’r gonna get to stay in the same location of u’r choosing especially if you wanna go to the elite schools to get the best training. U’r gonna have to relocate depending on what schools accept you and that goes from grad, to med, to residency and finally to fellow if u choose to specialize in a certain area. If u have a wife/spouse she’s either gonna have to be very understanding and remain in your hometown until u'r done u'r studies or she’s gonna have to uproot and move with you for that relationship to work at every stage of training .

Once you become a full doctor, your work becomes your life around the clock 24/7. U’r always on call. If u’r gonna have a serious relationship, she’s gonna have to adjust her life around yours for that relationship to be successful due to how super demanding being a doctor is. Not all women can do that or is cut out to be that stay at home mom/housewife.

Do not respond and continue to embarrass yourself with u’r ignorance and lack of knowledge. Simple for the fact that I have I worked with doctors, fellows, residents and med students for the past 10 years and I can spot and weed out chumps a million miles away like yourself and Onslaught who do not know what your are talking about and are just regurgitating verbatim something you have either read or heard somewhere. Bring something valuable to the table where the OP can benefit from and stop wasting my fuckin time with u'r childish behaviour you mental midget. U'r starting to bore me now and I'm really getting tired of giving you an intellectual flogging.

Are u serious…… U haven’t re-buttled anything. All you have done is posted definitions and statistics that are completely irrelvant. No one is disputing numbers/stats or how many people get accepted into what programs. That does not help the OP regarding his question. When was that ever a conversation??????.....or who did you have that conversation with?????? U’r all over the place and completely side tracking like a mofo.

It still doesn’t change the stone cold fact that if you graduate from an elite or recognized school, on that employment candidacy hierarchy or "food chain" your more likely to get considered for a job first at a hospital or private practice everytime as oppose to someone coming from a lesser known school..... especially if it’s a specialized field where everybody knows everybody in that particular specialization whether thru lectures, morning/afternoon/evening grand rounds, seminars etc etc. The belief or perception is that the recognized schools provide the best training(most times they do) for student doctors. It doesn’t mean if you go to a lesser known school you wont get a job after u’r studies have been completed. It just means u'r medical background will be under a very heavy scrutiny/microscope especially when u wanna justify the salary u'r paid.

Buddy, u can't google first hand experience or account on the net. For you to know certain things u would have had to have had been in that situation, u can't google it.

So I‘m still waiting for you rebutal pal or excuse me my bad the “sonning you promised“.

[smorg_borg]

that must be something else to be going to med school. hopefully you follow through.

 

[Professor]

I got accepted into Meharry, Morehouse and UTHSC in memphis.

I think I'm leaning towards UTHSC but Morehouse has plenty of fine ladies and a nice small class size.


The students at Meharry didn't seem to be to happy with the school and said that it was the only school that they were accepted into. They said if you got into another school you should choose that.

Did you guys find it hard having a social life in medschool? Is it easier to pick up girls are harder?


I'm just excited that I'm going to become a doctor.

I doubt u will really find time for BGOL the way u'r prolly accustomed to once you start, but stay focus. Being a doctor despite the demanding hours, it's one of the most rewarding careers. It's hard to explain that on the net until you start working with patients on a daily basis and see the difference you make in someones life.

good thing i AM making it as a literary writer. something you can't do and know nothing about, mr. "it takes YEARS to write a novel".

and the comic book stuff is coming along nicely. stop hating.

when you start doing the shit i do, then you can speak on it intelligently, until then you'll just keep making an ass of yourself for people to laugh at.

btw, my wife is a physician, i was dating her while she was in med school and all thru her residency. i know about 60 or 70 drs...i speak on what i've seen them go thru, and what they've told me.

yo REALLY need to shut the fuck up, cause yo DO NOT know what you're talking about, NOfessor.
