Hello everyone, I’m Currently studying medicine @ gumed I cant think of a worse experience. There is a systemic problem in our university, the “mory’s fund” is nothing compared to what happens in the English division . Are there more student at gumed and other universities in Poland here ? Can you guys share your experiences and if it’s worth trying to transfer ?
Do medical schools prefer applicants from the same university or is it fair game for everyone?
I was bounced around from house to house, survived off of food banks/donations, lived in shelters, and landed in foster care at the ripe age of 12. The highest level of education anyone has in my family is a high school diploma. I was told by a ton of people in my life that I wouldn’t amount to anything. I was always told that I probably wouldn’t even graduate high school, let alone go to post-secondary (bc <50% of foster care students graduate high school & <10% graduate post secondary). Now, I’m going into the final semester of an honours biology degree and I’m studying to write the MCAT and apply to medical school. Ask me anything!
Edit: I forgot to mention that I started my own tutoring company to help students who don’t have access to traditional tutoring!
I have scoured this subreddit and google to try to find information about this location. I have an endo with the Transgender Center at Washington University Medical Center in St. Louis Missouri who takes care of my HRT, and she is wonderful.
But the center also conducts vaginoplasty here, and I agreed to a joint consult with a urologist Dr Gino Vricella and one is a plastic surgeon, Dr Alison K. Snyder-Warwick. This location is local to me which would help immensely with the logistics of this surgery as well as aftercare.
However, I cannot find a single thing on how the surgeons that are performing vaginoplasty, I don’t know who they’ve studied under, nor can I find anyone else who has been treated by them. I’m willing to take on some amount of risk to go with these physicians if they’re new to the game, but I’d like to mitigate that as much as possible by getting as much information as possible from them during my consult. I planned on asking them about the methods they use, how much practice they have in performing the operation, and to see results.
But how should I measure their answers? Also what other questions should I be asking them?
I’d be willing to go with them if they can say they’ve studied and worked under other physicians who have good results, even if their own independent body of work is a bit limited at this time.
This medical center seems focused on building out services for transgender healthcare in the Midwest, where there is an underserved need for it. So I’m willing to take one some risk if it leads to better quality of care for others in the future, and it allows me to get the care I need as well.
Hello! Im a sixth year medical student from Slovenia and I have been recently given an opportunity to take a part in international credit mobility. I decided to spend 3 months in Kazakhstan at Medical University of Astana where I will do three months of practical training. I have a few questions regarding life in Kazakhstan. How are the student dorms? How hands on are doctors when it comes to practical training - are you a part of the team, or mostly a distant observer? What are the avarage monthly expenses for a student? Should I try to learn some Russian or will I get by with only English? Which writing system is mostly used in Nur-Sultan - cyrillic script or latin alphabet? I have millinons of questions and would be thankful for any advice. Thank you all so much in advance. Im super excited to visit and spend a few months in your beautiful county.
Anthony Back, a physician at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, knows many of his colleagues are hurting. Over the past 21 months, they’ve weathered waves of infection, vaccine vitriol and hospital furloughs. At times, they’ve been isolated — in gowns, respirators and masks — from suffering patients whom they’ve been powerless to help survive Covid-19.
“The level of uncertainty and personal vulnerability and feeling like maybe you weren’t doing the right thing has really just been off the charts,” Back said. “These are physicians and nurses who experienced so much death firsthand.” As health care professionals across the U.S. look for ways to deal with the mental and emotional anguish that has been wrought by the pandemic, Back is looking in a new, once-taboo, direction.
In a first-of-its kind clinical trial at the University of Washington School of Medicine, Back’s research team will treat 30 depressed medical professionals with a dose of synthetic psilocybin — a psychedelic drug — to see if the drug, along with psychotherapy, can reduce their mental anguish. It follows small clinical trials of psilocybin in people with cancer and major depressive disorder that suggested it could help reduce depression and anxiety in these groups. Other research suggested the drug could treat alcohol use disorder. That medical researchers are turning toward psilocybin to treat colleagues is representative of a growing curiosity and acceptance of the drug among those in the medical establishment.
“If this was done 5 to 10 years ago, I don’t think you would get approval,” said Dr. Stephen Ross, the associate director of the New York University Langone Health Center for Psychedelic Medicine. The research also highlights concerns over burnout and depression among the workers the nation has leaned on for nearly two years. “This is a serious crisis within medicine,” said Dr. Charles Grob, a professor of psychiatry at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine. “We don’t have a good handle on how to provide in-depth, existential support for the front-line health workers. Back has experienced the anguish of treating Covid-19 patients. Back practices palliative care, which means he tries to help patients improve their quality of life and reduce suffering as they face serious illness.
Wearing protective gear, keeping distance from patients’ families and reducing bedside visits changed the nature of his work and that of colleagues. Then, as disruptions to surgery schedules a

Hello, y'all. I am a Public Health major in my freshman year in UTA. I have been trying to find some statistic information about Texas medical schools accepting UTA pre- med students and for some weird reason I am not able to find the info online. Has anybody have any info about this and is there anyone who graduated as a pre-med student from UTA and found success by getting into med-school in Texas or anywhere else? Please let me know.
Can you guys talk about it more because I don’t have any idea about it
I would think from the name that it would be owned by the state government. From where I'm from (Texas), the state government runs the University of Texas Health Science Center, Texas A&M Health Science Center, etc. and all the workers at the hospitals and colleges/universities there are state employees.
