congrats WSOM graduate

sorry a MODERATOR GURU
all hail stepheW

Hi, folks:
I know here at Dartmouth its a nice accomplishment to be named chief resident. Your peers vote you in, so it implies that you are well respected and your coworkers and attendings have much confidence in your abilities to teach and lead. The cheif residents here are always impressive. So, congratulations to the Windsor alum.

i dont even understand why u post in this forum..public forum or not if you have nothing good to say there's no need for you to tell OUR PRE MEDS nothing..please stay out of WSOM forums and I suggest you go worry about the 500k loan you owe SGU for becoming a STELLAR VMD FORUM MODERATOR

excuse me, but you are you to tell anyone to stay out of a public forum? you don't OWN it.if you want this to be a windsor polyanna forum with no outsiders allowed, then maybe you should take this to a forum on the internal windsor.edu site.

there is very much a need for someone who is not vested in windsor to tell prospective students things (as there is a need on ANY of these fora) because admin and cheerleading students will always gloss over things that aren't so great and hype up things that are just average.

yes, it is very nice that there is a chief out there that is a windsor grad....shows that the school and the students it is graduating are up and coming, but its not like she won the nobel prize or something- thousands of residents become chief. Steph's point (in case you missed it) was that realize that while this is nice, there are many reasons why someone becomes chief. If she was a chief in say gen surg...whoop dee do! everyone becomes chief their last year- it would just mean that she made it to the last year...and i would imagine a lot of newbies don't know that... Also i would imagine that most prospectives don't know that being chief in some programs (ie IM, Peds) that it is an EXTRA year (heck, lots of 4th year med students don't know this) and people take on this responsiblity for many reasons- usually because they want a fellowship and couldn't get it straight out of the 3rd year.
And like the Dartmouth guy said, sometimes the chief is elected by the resident class- so it could be the big accomplishment is that they are well liked and popular with their classmates.

make a deal about it, pat yourself on the back about it, but please don't make it look like the 2nd coming....just makes you look like you are clutching at straws...

okay.........

ummm......

so how many years is a FP residency exactly?

Hi:
If by "FP" you mean Family Medicine, its three years at Dartmouth. I'm not sure how long it is at other places.

its three years.

Perhaps you skipped the bit where i said it is an achievment? A few times? Just to make sure that those who had difficultly grasping my point could have that qualification made apparent to them?

Nevertheless its really sweet of you to worry about my financial situation. That can happen with folks not experienced in dealing with large sums of money. But don't worry. its all good.

See this here in context. This is a nice accomplishment.
