Just finished watching Dr. Carmody's YouTube videos. You can't find a better in depth analysis of the recent USMLE scandal—mathematically proven and so many of the questions are answered. They should make a documentary from this. @jbcarmody

For anyone who wants to learn more about what has happend - and what’s going to happen next - I dropped a ONE HOUR video to keep you occupied this weekend… Mailbag: Wrapping Up the USMLE Cheating Scandal youtu.be/MR1hzK-hu34



A must watch for medical students applying to residency

This will shift the dominant application strategy from “Apply to as many programs as possible” to “How do I most effectively allocate my preference signals?” Applicants who signal wisely will benefit… those who don’t will suffer. More here: youtu.be/pmRwRDe2gs8

UPDATE: After an enormous outcry, Cigna has reversed their unconscionable last-minute denial and will be covering Carole's transplant (!!). Carole is extremely relieved, and she's grateful to the many, many people who emailed Cigna over the past 24 hours. Having said that...

To me, what’s most striking is the increase in research output by *unmatched* applicants. Today’s unsuccessful applicants are still do more research than successful applicants from even just a few years ago. It’s an arms race, pure and simple. e.g., for orthopedic surgery:

Over a decade, research abstracts/papers in residency applications have increased 2-3x!! No one wins in this kind of "arms race" 👎👎👎 Average applicant abstract/papers by specialty: Neurosurg: 24 Derm: 19 Rad Onc: 18 by @Abdul_K_Ahmed @eadashi jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas…

I delve into @doximity physician compensation data based on region, academia/private practice, yrs of experience, and most importantly comparing specialty to subspecialties in the US (cards vs international vs EP) and insight after 1 yr as an attending

I have had a lot of DMs As way of context, a 🧵 1) Any health professional doing an invasive procedure should be able to deal with complications particularly life-threatening ones. If they cant pt lives are put at risk I trained full time for 3 yrs, did >1000 first opertor…

@GHCardiology this is so inappropriate on so many levels. Being a TAVR operator is not just about deploying a valve, but working up the pt for the optimal mx of their AS, managing the patient prior to procedure and dealing with complications. This is not safe for patients…

Great 🧵 concerning how the medical field is changing- and not sure it’s for the better

I'm a consultant interventionalist, but was a trainee just 18mo ago. I am an educational supervisor (to doctors) and have mentored ANPs & pharmacists to expand their skills. I am clinical lead for my department, so all too aware of the pressures on trusts. Here are my thoughts.

Witnessing cardiac arrest is traumatic for non-medical providers (& often us too). Feel free to turn the game off and not watch this.
