原来是打算申请Neurology 和 Pathology的, 因为Neurology 需要申请Prelim, 所以就
计划去做3个月的IM externship. 病理做了两个OB. 因为研究背景是Neuroscience, 所
以只做了个很短的Neurology OB. 考虑很久到底儿该选什么科, 做完OB 到申请的时候
也没太想好. 应该是更倾向于病理吧.后来看了看usmle forum 上面病理的thread,觉得
比去年,前年竞争强了很多, 怎么也要再选一个做backup吧, Neuro要申Prelim 和
Advanced, 再加上病理3个,太麻烦了, 而且神经科本身挺深奥难学的, 自己也没有任何
神经科的临床经验, 就索性申请了内科. 内科的优点是时间短, 就3年, 工作机会比较
多, 因为老公的工作性质, 以后要找Faculty, 工作机会比较少, 也是在迁就他吧, 两
个人在一起很重要, 两个人都开心也很重要, 我希望他能继续做他自己喜欢做的事. 再
有内科是医学的基础, 以后也可以照顾父母, 公公,婆婆的身体健康. 我的研究背景对 |

Community hospital, but it has a good relationship with JHU. 这是我的第一个面试, 事前还是有些紧张的. 面试当天去了~12人, 大部分是老印, 大部分是申请CATEGORICAL IM的.先听MORNING REPORT, 好象RESIDENTS回答问题不太积极, INTERVIEWEE也没有一个表现的, 呵呵. 然后是PD介绍PROGRAM, 随后开始面试. 3个面试官, 2个FACULTY MEMBERS, 1个SENIOR RESIDENT. 第一个面试官好象是中东人, 口音挺重, 他事先根本没看我的材料, 甚至不知道我是申请PRELIM的, 拿着我的CV一边看一边问我CV上的问题. 他一开始问我VISA STATUS的问题我没听明白,让他重复了一下, 此后交流一直很顺利, 最后他说我是个very strong applicant. 第二个INTERVIEWER大概跟第一个通了下气, 对我的材料 |

positions.
For example, I'm a fresh graduate without any residency experience. If I
apply for a Rads PGY-2 position, I also need to apply for a one-year PGY-1
spot to cover the first-year internship training.
For people already in one-year PGY-1, they may apply for a PGY-2 spot |

I think there is no problem to apply for both neuro program and pathology in
the same hospital. The reason you don't want to apply IM prelim and
categorical is because some of the programs have the same PD, or at least,
they're very close. Therefore, they might wonder why. I believe neuro and
path is far away from each other, probably except neuropath. should be safe.

首先非常感谢你对我面试的指导和帮助。我的问题是：
If I ranked two programs, A and B, as my first and second choices, A is an
advanced program and B is a categorical.
If A program ranked me high but the TY/Prelim along with it was "unmatched",
and B program also ranked me high, did the Match go to A (A + no TY/prelim)
or skip A and go to B instead, because B is categorial?
希望我把问题说清楚了。谢谢!

１。 我为什么要考 Board。 简单的一句话就是 '不甘心'。我毕业后干过三年心脏麻醉, 然后在药厂混了两年, 98年来美念Ph.D，刚开始念，师兄师姐就告诉我说前途暗淡. 一条路是念Ph.D，考 Board，但当时他们说考试很难，Match 更难，而且必须得有Green Card，所以当时就放弃了这个想法。但我也不想接着念 Ph.D，当时我一个同学在念 Epi Ph.D，说着这个以后找工作不错，于是一学期后转了过去念 MPH in Epi and Biostat, 毕业时IT正是火爆的时候，很多人都去念了IT。生统的工作非常好找，就这样我开始工作了，一直到现在。生统的工作其实满稳定的，收入也还可以。但我一直觉得不考 Board 是很亏的。首先，先不说收入，省的有些人又开始说其他工作如何如何。大夫是一个非常受人尊敬的职业，而且非常稳定。所以Aremican花那么多钱和时间去念医。而且他们允许 I... 阅读全帖 |
