Resident Swap Site

www.ResidentSwap.org allows residency programs to post notices of unexpected vacancies. There is no fee or sign-up required to post, and the website can instantly send alerts to dozens of residents who have previously indicated interest in your specialty and geographical location.

According to the website,
"ResidentSwap.org works in four ways

1. Lists currently vacant residency spots.
2. Anonymously lists spots currently filled by residents who would like to swap places with you.
3. Frequently monitors websites that publicly advertise residency vacancies and immediately sends alerts to your email or cell phone whenever new spots open.
4. "Together Anywhere" mode, designed for couples, locates two spots in close geographical proximity to each other."

NY Emergency Medicine

NY Emergency Medicine
"Adam Rosh, MD, is a big believer in the power of the Web for enhancing medical education. As an emergency medicine resident in New York City, he collects and shares information on a site titled simply, New York Emergency Medicine. The content of the site is anything but simple, however. It includes more than a dozen columns by different authors, as well as cartoons and interviews with pioneers in the field. Another popular feature is the weekly quiz, which offers a cash prize for the first correct answer. I recently spoke with Dr. Rosh about his efforts." (from MedScape.)

There are cool videos on how to perform some medical procedures.

SDN

I'm sure any premed would know SDN forum. If not, you are lucky and I suggest you remain that way. It's an effective way of communicating between fellow premeds. You can get suggestions about interview processes, what to wear, letters of rec, or any strange thing related to medical school you can think of.

When I didn't do well in my last MCAT, first thing I think of is "will I get into med school with this? what do others get" I made the worst mistake of checking SDN. You'll see many posts full of complaints about MCAT score, but they are not bitching about getting below 30. They bitch about getting 37, instead of 40. Come on, if you are achieving that much, be considerate.

We need suggestions when we are confused, uncertain or insecured about MCAT score. SDN is great but don't check out that website unless you feel secured about yourself.
