So I’ve had a Twitter account for awhile, which was mostly just used to link to my blog articles. I followed some people, mostly other physicians, but overall, I didn’t really use it. To be honest, I never really gave it a chance. It was just another “social media” thing that I used in hopes that people would browse through my profile and find my blog. I didn’t have Twitter on my iPhone and hardly used it […]

Guest Post from @DrBloomDO / @docsoftomorrow How to Crush your Rotations Study on your own. Students often ask me questions about things they don’t know one day (perfectly fine), only to ask me the same exact question the next day (NOT fine!). Do you realize how irritating this is?! It tells me you don’t care enough to spend a few seconds googling the answer. Even worse than looking bad is that not knowing something puts your patients […]
How to Crush Your Rotations – Guest Post from @DrBloomDO ...

Relevant Ok, so now what? You’re a 4th year. Apps are in. You feverishly check your “ERAS” inbox every 10 seconds. Ivory Tower University sent […]
4th Year, ERAS, and the NRMP
Happy Labor Day! No Post Today. I would recommend checking out some other bloggers I read: PhysicianOnFire Future Proof MD Passive Income MD Dr. Wise Money All of us blog on the topic of Physician Finance/Retirement, although I am more of a “variety” (medicine/whatever/finance) blogger. It’s interesting to see how other physicians manage their finances and retirement. Overall, these other bloggers are much more aggressive about putting money away than I am, with plans for earlier […]

This is the 4th post in my retirement series: Retiring Early, How to Retire Early, and Early Retirement is Easy? Once you decide you want to retire early, you’ll want to evaluate where your post-retirement dollar goes the farthest. I hinted at this in my prior posts. The first thing we need to evaluate is where are your post-retirement dollars coming from? For the majority of retirees, I think their retirement money is going to come from a mix […]
