Columbia combined program
I was wondering if anyone knew anything about Columbia's PRS program. I know they have a fellowship, but I am confused as to if they have a combined program for a PGY-1 spot. All of the integrated match lists only refer to NY Presbyterian-Cornell, with no direct mention of Columbia (FREIDA is the same way, no Columbia mention). The the Columbia website says they have one PGY-1 spot each year though. Is that part of the NYP-Cornell program? I'm asking because I would like to know if doing an away rotation there would be an audition rotation, or just an experience where I could learn some things and get a letter but not pote...

Plastic surgery before interviews?
Hi there. Happy New Year. I'm considering getting cosmetic plastic surgery after I finish school in June and when I turn my apps in, so around July/August. It might not fully be healed by the time the interview rolls around, so my question is whether or not bruising/swelling in the face would be a red flag during interviews? Would the interviewer even ask? I feel like it's either now or wait until after residency to do it, it's still going to be tough when I'm 35 and married to your job.

PRS Subscription & blog info
hey everyone! just found out that if you call the publisher for PRS (Wolters Kluwer I think?) you can get a medical student rate for PRS, where you get the printed copies and online access for ~$200. I don't remember the exact amount. I wish I had known this before sub-internships because I like having the actual journal available to read, and easier access online than the way our library does it. also the resident blog on the PRS website is pretty cool and has some good insight into resident life. just sharing these discoveries with those out there interested in PRS!

I want to be a plastic and reconstructive surgeon
I’ve always had an interest in medical stuff. Even as a little kid I loved to watch surgery on TV. My mother thinks being a surgeon is gross. She had a couple bad nose jobs. She also had a deformed ear “fixed” but it looks exactly the same. When I was 15 she tried to make me get a breast reduction, I’m a F cup. She drug me to a bunch of surgeons. I never got it and I hated that she was trying to force me to have it. But during all this a part of me still found it fascinating. I don’t care about making 6 figures.

Interested in a career as an ENT surgeon.
Hi all, I'm a graduate student applying to GEP programs in the U.K. As a pre-med, I undertook a surgical internship and most enjoyed ENT surgery, and shadowed a great ENT surgeon, getting as much O.R. time as I could during thyroidectomies etc. One aspect of the field that also appealed to me was superficial facial reconstruction (i.e. not mxf) bordering on plastic surgery. I was wondering whether in the U.K. a surgeon can specialize in ENT as well as Facial Plastic Surgery? Any advice on how to try and secure a career in ENT surgery from the very start would be very helpful to me. Thanks! (Source: New Media Medicine)
