All Branch Topic (ABT) GMO skillsetEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Alright, I'm planning out my last (5 months of) electives for fourth year, and I was wondering what you guys thought are essential/useful skills for a GMO to know (other than basic primary care, but I think I'm pretty strong on that front). My school was very hands off for 3rd year students, especially for surgery and OB, I'm not sure if that's important. Things I was considering: Sports Medicine Wilderness Medicine Trauma Surgery/SICU Emergency Medicine Labor and Delivery Dermatology Anesthesiology (placing IVs, airway management, etc) Electives in Spanish speaking areas Other language skills? Tropical Medicine/TB clini...

Montgomery's GlandsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Hi there, I am wondering if it is likely that my health insurance will cover the removal of my Montgomery's glands on my areolas. These are not normal Montgomery's glands. I only have a few, but when I was younger, I didn't know what they were so I scratched and picked at them. Now they are darker, with scar tissue underneath and the potential for infection. If I were to get them removed, I would of course have to see a plastic surgeon. Is this a matter of convincing my Dermatologist to convince my insurance company or what? The way I see it, this is sort of like a mole removal and mole removal is definitely covered by i...

FellowshipsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
As a PGY-3, I guess it is time to start thinking about fellowships. Unfortunately, one of the weaknesses of my program is that guidance in that department is kind of lacking. What is the process like in terms of applying? What are people looking for from the applicants? What is the outlook for different fellowships? (I am only familiar with the big three of pediatrics, dermatopathology, procedural) Are certain ones more popular/competitive than the others?

should I get a second opinion on a weird mole?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I have this weird-looking mole that has some of the characteristics I know of melanoma (it's black and grey, is elevated, popped up out of nowhere from what I remember, and when it itched and I scratched it on two separate instances, some of the black skin got peeled off at the first one and the mole bled at the second. But then again I have long fingernails). It's a 3-4 mm. Oval-shaped. I went to a relative who's a doctor (not a dermatologist though) to have it checked. Unfortunately he was in a bad mood at the time, fiddling with his laptop while I told him about the mole (about it itching, bleeding and some of the skin ...

Skin issues with my 2 year oldEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
DS' pediatrician and cf doctor both brought it up a couple years ago, but weren't sure how to treat it or what it actually was, so I made the dermatologist appointment. Unfortunately the first appointment was with a PA, who didn't have a clue and the 2nd one was with a very young, inexperienced dermatologist who didn't have a clue and didn't even look. It takes FOREVER to get into the derm clinic, so I need to make an appointment. I've joked that I'll just take DS to the medispa with me and get his and hers facials. He thinks it's cool when I put a clay mask on him or use a facial scrub.

So... After hanging out here for a while, I've learned that Dermatology is a super-dooper competitive specialty, and I was wondering why. I, personally, have no interest in dermatology (peds and neuro sound cool to me, but that could probably change once I'm in med school), but I am trying to figure out why it is so competitive.

Hi all. I have seen threads before with N.D.s and D.C.s referring to them as family physicians (and I have participated in those threads as well). Although I personally find many naturopaths and chiropractors to be great educators (and have many friends in these professions as well), it still makes me cringe a bit when I see them refer to themselves as general or family-practice physicians. I was reading a local magazine today, and saw an ad for a med (dermatology) spa in my area, called Physician Skin Solutions. I saw the docs pictures at the bottom, with one labeled 'Dr. Shannon XXXXX, on-site full-time physician'. Fo...

Hi everyone, I'm a prospective student at a top medical school strongly considering derm. I would like to match into derm and begin my residency right after 4 years of medical school. How realistic of a goal is it for a 4-year MD to match into derm? How can I make myself a more attractive candidate against MD PhDs and those with research fellowships? Obviously, gain as much research experience as possible (targetting for the number of publications), but any other tips or opinions? :)

Tell me about Anesthesia and NeurologyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In which specialty am I more likely to get more time off? Which is closer to dermatology in terms of lifestyle? From my own research it seems that neurologists get 6wks off at VA centers and comparable time off in private outpatient practice. Anesthesiologists supposedly get 10-12wks off but it is becoming increasingly difficult to get a good job. So is it possible that 10yrs from now you will not get a job unless you agree to never have a chance of making partner and getting those 10wk vacations? After all if you don't own the patients and there are plenty of CRNAs and with all the advances in technology/automatism it's p...

I cut my calf while shaving about 2 months ago. After removing the bandaid a few days later, I noticed a light-reddish bump that looks and feels like a hard mole. It is not painful, and has not changed colors, size, or shape since then. Any ideas on what this could be? I have made an appointment with a dermatologist, but cannot get in to see him for a few more weeks and I am concerned that this could be something serious since it just showed up on the spot that I cut.

As to whether a person has hypertrichosis is based on racial,familial factors apart from age and location of the hair growth.Hereditary factors do have a role here.Growth of soft lanugo hairs by birth is the congenital type and is otherwise of no significance.Acquired types need to be investigated to rule out paraneoplastic markers.Other causes of acquired hypertrichosis...
