you have no idea where you will want to end up after graduation and keeping your options open is great. for example, now that i have attended a few medical conferrences and get medical journal subscriptions i have been getting job offers from all over the place. i looked in my mailbox yesterday and there was one from montana:

-guaranteed base salary of $300,000 for the duration of the contract
-bonus program with more than half of practicioners making $500,000
-$25,000 signing bonus
-full malpractice insurance paid for including tail coverage
-full moving expenses and $5,000 relocation allowance
-call is 1:5

i have also gotten things for indiana, california, texas and my fellow residents ahve gotten things from other states. the one from north california was even better than the one above..the hospital basically gave you a practice to run..of course with stipulations but after 5 years you could sell the practice and move

point is, keeping your options open is tyhe best route...taking one of these spots that are in the middle opf no where but pay a ton for a few years can go a long way to put a dent in your debt status

for contrasting purposes an obgyn where i am right now makes $170,000 so i can more than double this and own my own practice for basically free just by having the flexibility to go where i want

i can also do locum tenes work...short term asignements anywhere for a good chunk of change

This post makes a lot of sense.

Does AUC have all green book clinical, I appreciate your reply.

That's really impressive! Congratulations!

Thanks iaustudent06 for your inferential reply, I always appreciate your experienced answers.

Thanks.

Is there any word with Saba getting on the Texas Equivalency list? Texas only lists AUC, Ross & St. George's. Saba graduates are done on a case by case basis, from my understanding. Will there be a site visit done by the Texas Medical Board anytime soon?

what if someone get licenced in california, would she be able to practice in canada or newyork????

if they get a license in NY or Canada, they can...
