Well, one major problem with VCJ/BTS and company -- you have the wrong person The person I'm talking about is NOT in family practice.

And yes, my information was a bit erroneous and I've just spoke to my UConn contact who sits on the internal medicine residency adm committee. The Kigezi grad I'm talking about IS from MA. My mistake is, she is an incoming intern. My contact at UConn was sitting in the faculty meeting when her application was discussed in the final selection meeting, that's why we are so sure about MA. So, my mistake is that she is not a current UConn housestaff yet. She is an incoming intern due to start July 1st.

Problem remains... the whole discussion started with bts' NJ thing again. Dispite offiicial sources to the contrary, BTS is suggesting Mr. Orr from NJ board is "speaking out of pay grade"...
Quote:
Could also be that ian Orr spoke above his pay grade
... Dispite official evidence to the contrary, BTS is still trying to imply that NJ is somehow OK.

Believe what you will, and please do verify what I say with official sources such as FSMB, state medical boards and such. It's really sad that SC students just don't seem to see the big picture... school in existance since 1998 without licensed grads and being disallowed in more states than most carib schools due to charter issue...

As for transferring residencies -- yes, some residency programs are on what we call a "pyramid" system (although this is not a term condoned by RRC), I would find it hard to believe a family practice residency program being a "pyramid" since it's thought of as one of the "easier" specialties to get into, evident by number of IMG's in the program. Who knows why this resident had to transfer.. I'm not going to speculate without further information. Point is, she is not the one I'm talking about (sorry, bts, nice try).

Oh, and BTS has a problem with me using "symbols" in my posts... Apparently it's OK for his SC folks to do so...
The above was posted last night at 11pm-ish. There has been several posts from BOTH BTS and the poster since that time and it apparently is not yet corrected as of this time... so apparently it's OK for his own people to use symbols and not others... Nice ethics, BTS.

nice try picard..lol.

Don't worry about VCJ, as I wrote to you in my PM just 10 minutes ago, the TOS are being applied Uniformly. But his comments came while I was sleeping. I sent him a PM to edit his post this AM, last i checked he still had not read it. As I gave you ample opportunity to edit your post before considering issuing a warning, i will allow him the same courtesy.

p-man

p i just thought if someone like u, who posts a 1000 word discourse every day is allowed to use symbols, we are allowed to as well!!!

guess not


but ya, u were wrong about some details of ur claim. u could be wrong about some other minor details of your "proposed scenarios" as well...i mean this is the only one verified and it ended up being incorrect.
