Good. About time we stop fear mongering. Might cut down on unnecessary skin checks too and decrease wait times. @AdeAdamson @AADmember #skincancer theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…

The common addage WAS, you need 2 months for step 1, 2 weeks for step 2, and 2 pencils for step 3. People use to study hard for step 1 because the score mattered on what specialty you went into. Now, the score has changed to pass/fail making it less discerning, unless you fail.

Most US MD programs can pass Step 1 w/ min external prep. Like most high achieving ppl, you're going to get external sources to ENSURE you can pass step 1. When I took it and got real grades, the pass rate was quite high, 95% Now the pass rate is 90%. usmle.org/performance-data

Man the great power you have….

Yes. Mine are trolling Steven Chen on social media.

Focus will be on excellence in clinical care, clinical trials integration, interdisciplinary cross training, specialty clinic focused (patch testing, melanoma, derm-rheum, laser). No mandatory call or weekends.

No bias here, but Eczema Expo is hands down the best conference every year for patients and caregivers. Packed with the latest in eczema and eczema therapies, it’s a can’t miss event. Meet old friends, make new friends! See you in Denver! @nationaleczema #eczemaexpo #expo24

I knew you'd come around to it

If you're savvy and do some consulting/speaking/patent/start a product line on the side, that number will balloon. That's more money to invest and grow.

Is med school expensive? Yes. But it's an investment in your future. If you graduate medical school at 30 (usu younger), finish res at 35, and work for 30 years @ 250,000/year, your lifetime earning is $7.5 million. Risk of losing a job is low. Value to society is high.

Is there though? We take MUCH MORE debt on buying a house or even now going to college with some schools charging $90,000/year and you graduate with no marketable skill. Med school = mid 6 figure salary within 5 years of graduation for most (YMMV) with job security

Otherwise who would live in Rochester MN?

Does she feel safe at home? Do we need to chat Steven? 🤔

We are looking for a social media content creator to help with our professional clinical trials unit social media account. I'd like to know if anyone has recommendations for folks they've worked with before. #contentcreators #hiring

Breaks my heart.

Wait...what?! They fired everyone?! So who is doing the weather now for TWC?

Derm. Snowing too hard? Off. Federal holiday? Off. After 5pm? LOL.
