This is the thread where all questions about residency applications and Match should be placed for the current month.

How do I get better at resuscitations, I got feedback I need to work on that after conpleting nursery rotation. What has been helpful for you?

I was confused about pediatric aways that they are often in specialties and not just hospitalist. Is that normal for aways to be based on a certain specialty? And do you apply for multiple specialties in one program that you're interested in.

TLDR: is there a specific website physicians use to job search?

Hi! I’m entering my pediatric residency. My goal is to be a pediatrician in one location for many years, become well known with my patients/families, staff & overall be in a comfortable work environment. I’m first gen so many medical field things I have to discover for myself. How would I go out about working In a doctors office, 9-5, as a stable pediatrician. IE; is there a specific website physicians use to job search. When I google “private practice pediátricas 9-5 job openings” or anything in that realm I get job openings for every other subspecialty or travel jobs. I was hoping to see what hours/salary are out there, just don’t know where physicians “job search”. If there are any pediatricians who do this (9-5 private practice) please tell me about your experience! I would also love to sub specialize (for financial reasons) but only in a field with good work-life balance. I graduated high school early, then went straight college -> med school, I know it sounds bad but I’m tired and want calmness in my life, If any recommendations please let me know!

Thank you!

Got 3 adolescent girls in the same week nonsensical/nonanatomic/nonphysiologic patterns of extremity numbness/weakness.

I'm an MS4 mostly waiting for match results and chilling before residency in June, but when I feel like brushing up on stuff, what would y'all recommend? I know resting is important, but if you guys have a short list of youtube channels or sites on review topics like antibiotics or ekgs, etc stuff every intern should come in knowing. Thanks!

So I wanted to do peds . But the salaries are ridiculous compared to adult and what is more infuriating is that if you do a sub specialty you will get paid same or even less I am an old IMG and have experience in pediatrics but I want to do IM because of the salary as I a have a shit load of loans Will I match in IM or I am stuck with peds ? Also private practice in peds what is the salary ?

Hello everyone and good day! I'm sorry if this is the wrong group for this but does anyone have any advice on how to become a paediatrician in Australia with no prior experience and in the shortest time possible? Thank you in advance.

external rotation/ residency

I'm a 4th year medical student yet to do my pediatrics rotation I want to know more about three sub specialities if you can help please ( lifestyle - workload - knowledge fun ?) Pediatric neuro Pediatric critical care Neonatology

What is your work schedule like as an attending neo? What time do you start/end your day? How many weekends? Call schedule? Clinic schedule? Do you have to do newborn/well baby time?

Hi all I have a question regarding my options once I do a fellowship.

Can I be a PEM attending and open up a small clinic because I will still be board certified in peds? Or can I still work for a small outpatient peds clinic on the weekends?

I'll be starting my pediatrics residency in July In these upcoming months I'd love to prepare as much as I can. There's so many resources it's definelty overwhelming

What books and Q&A websites do you recommend for a PGY1?

As the title says does anyone have good resources for free educational courses whether they are in person or online. I'm a recent grad and working my first attending job and just want to continue learning. It's not about getting the CME credits, more so about learning more and having up to date information. I know I can read articles etc, but I find I learn best through courses and being lectured.

I'm an MD/PhD student interested in pediatrics and need to submit my MS3 clerkship order preferences. I've been advised that rotating in peds in the middle of the year is ideal, but are there any clerkships that would be helpful to do before peds (FM, IM, OB/GYN etc.)?

Any suggestions on pediatric accessories to make work easier or more fun? (I’m a CNA at a local pediatrics hospital)

I have always been interested in cardiology but the worklife balance after fellowship concerns me. I would love to work part time or maybe even remote echo reads or something of that sort but concerned there aren’t many options out there.

Hi all! I am a third year med student that is trying to decide between a few different specialties in focusing on next year's rotation schedule. Wondering if there is anyone in the neonatology field that I can send some questions to about the specialty, day to day work, lifestyle, etc.

What does your nursery do? Do all babies get a TsB before discharge or only ones with a high TcB?

First year resident in large academic center. I am really undecided in between A&I and Rheum fellowships. I am really interested in inborn errors of immunity like primary immune deficiencies or auto inflammatory diseases. In my institution both AI and Rheumatology look for these patients but Rheumatology is more involved. I heard in many institutions AI usually take care of PID and IEI. How are the current trends nationally? I am still exploring both fields but I just wanted to hear other opinions.

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting here. I'm currently in my 2nd year of NICU fellowship and I'm struggling with trying to find the "Right time" to have a baby. My parents are in their late 70s and 80s and I'm an only child so the pressure to have a baby sooner than later is starting to feel more intense/real - but even outside of this I really want to start "living my life" and my husband and I really do want to start a family. What's interesting is I never truly felt I would feel like this, especially in med school and in residency, but I'm actually at a point in my life when I want to have a baby to share my life experiences with and for my parents to enjoy being grandparents - I know it's corny but somehow this is truly how I feel.

When logically planning this I immediately find several things that give me pause - being pregnant while working overnight and working 24+ hour shifts. This gives me huge worries about risks of preterm delivery but I don't think there's really a way to get around this at this point in my training. I know people do these types of shifts pregnant all the time but it does scare me, how have people managed this?

The other huge concern I have is postpartum time or maternity leave. Based on what I've learned, as a fellow I get 6 weeks but this is truly devastating to me. Again I know people do this all the time but how have people handled this? I feel like every day I'm trying to figure out what is the right time - after fellowship? Third year? Maybe delivering closer to the end of third year and starting a job slightly later to have more of a reasonable maternity leave??

All to say, I know everyone says there's no right time to have a baby but I just wanted to see if others have been in similar situations in fellowship and how they navigated these fears/concerns when starting a family.

Thanks for listening

Worth buying? Is it worse than the Harriet lane?

Preface: Apologies if this is in incorrect subreddit. Please let me know if there is more appropriate subreddit to ask in thanks!

I am a medical student looking to publish a case study in the field of pediatrics. I need help with recommendations for journals to publish this on an outpatient case. Any and all advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Hello,

I’m a pediatrician from Japan with a strong interest in the treatment of inborn errors of immunity (IEI), including bone marrow transplantation (BMT). I’m considering pursuing a fellowship in the United States to deepen my knowledge and clinical skills in this field.

I’d like to ask for advice from physicians familiar with the U.S. medical training system:

Would it be more beneficial to apply for a fellowship in Allergy & Immunology or Pediatric Hematology & Oncology to gain comprehensive expertise in IEI management, particularly in programs that emphasize bone marrow transplantation or gene therapy?

I’d greatly appreciate any insights on which pathway would be better suited to my goals, as well as any program recommendations or tips for international applicants.

Thank you in advance for your guidance!

Hello,

I am a premed student who is quite interested in pediatrics. I apologize if this is an incorrect avenue, but I was very curious to learn about the roles of a Physician Assistant versus Physician practicing in pediatrics.

Where do the biggest differences lie in practice? Would you say one role has any advantage over the other?

Thank you!

Edit: thank you all for your responses. Super informative and helpful!

Hi! I’m peds resident - wondering what the work and life balance looks like for a NICU attending? I know in depends on where you are working, but Any insights would be appreciated! Thanks

There's a pediatric rheumatology fellowship position open at the Children's Hospital at Montefiore in Bronx, NY. Message me if interested, thanks!

Hi! I’m a pediatric resident considering working abroad in Europe after graduating from residency for a few years or more if we end up settling abroad :) I wanted to see if anyone here knows more about the process of working in the UK after pediatric residency as a pediatrician in the ER or wards. Thank you for any help and advice!

Hello everyone, hope you all are doing well. I am in the process of making my ROL and wanted to know what are the key differences between a Peds primary care and Peds categorical residency. If i were to do Peds Primary care would i have trouble with pursuing a fellowship afterwards? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

I'm a baby attending 6 months out of training and my current job is giving me a lot of pause. When I signed my contract I was to be working at the main clinic group with a bunch of the other peds (didnt have a contract lawyer at the time bc i was broke)....Three days before moving states, I was called and told I'm working at a different clinic (that had initially shut down, so trying to build the panel back up), where i'll be the only ped with one rotating FM. We don't have any full time RN, we float 1 fam med nurse between 2 providers. No additional support staff. 1 registration staff.

I have been requesting staffing and basic office supplies for the last 6 months, haven't received anything. My clinic lost our med director and I was told I'd be taking over the role since in the only full time peds in the office. When I asked for appropriate documentation and compensation, I was told that I'm actually not the director but would be expected to fulfill the role anyway. I'm on a visa waiver too. On the plus side the hours are great, the pay is competitive, I enjoy my colleagues and most of the staff, and I can rebuild the clinic how i would like. I just dont have any staff or supplies and its frustrating. Aside: my hospita/clinic has an incredibly high turnover due to admin issues.

Seeking any advice 😩😭😭
