Hi, I’m a non-US IMG. I failed one year during my pre-clinical studies at university but after that I never failed another year or exam and my grades were good. I’ve also passed both USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK on my first attempt. Will the failed year significantly affect my chances of matching into residency in the US?
I’m a medical student looking to connect with other motivated medical students/doctors who are interested in working on a research paper together and building their CVs.
Hi, is there anyone who goes / went to this university? I just need to ask about something
Hi, I repeated a year pre clinical in a private university. Will this affect my chances in matching in the USA?
Hi, does anyone want to split a buy one get one offer? Novo
Hi, I repeated a year in university (preclinical) but managed to pass step 1 and step 2 (268) first try. Do I have a chance in matching?
Hi, can anyone recommend good British schools near Barwa Madinatna?

Advice please
I really need outside perspectives because I’ve been replaying this situation in my head for weeks and I genuinely don’t know if I’m being unfair to myself or not.
I (F) was friends with X. We weren’t part of the same friend group as Y and Z. X and I were just friends.
For most of our friendship, I actually never vented about X to anyone. I was very protective of our friendship, and if we had issues, I kept them between us. But over time, X started venting to other people about our friendship and our disagreements. Once I became aware of that, it made me feel like it was okay for me to seek advice from other people too when I was struggling with something involving her. Looking back, maybe that changed my boundaries without me fully realizing it.
At one point, I was having issues/confusion in my friendship with X and I spoke to Y about it because I needed advice and wanted another perspective. Y was someone I was very close to at the time, and I used to tell her a lot about what was going on in my life. I wasn’t trying to trash X or ruin her reputation. I was venting and trying to understand the situation.
Later on, I found out that Y had repeated things to X and claimed that I had said things that I genuinely never said, including calling Y “toxic” and saying she was “desperate for a guy” (I never used those words). X ended up hearing all of this and removed me from everywhere without ever asking me for my side of the story.
I sent X messages explaining that I never said those things and that I felt hurt that no one had asked me what actually happened before judging me. I was emotional and defensive in those messages because I felt falsely accused. X never replied. It’s now been a few weeks, and she’s removed me from all social media.
The part I’m struggling with is this: I know I did talk about my issues with X to Y. I regret that because none of this would have happened if I hadn’t. But I genuinely wasn’t trying to be malicious. I thought I was confiding in someone I trusted and asking for advice about a friendship that was upsetting me.
I also had a feeling months before all of this that I needed stronger boundaries with Y because I felt I was becoming too emotionally dependent on her and telling her everything. I ignored that feeling, and now I regret it.
So I guess my questions are:
Was I wrong for talking to Y about my friendship with X in the first place?
Am I just making excuses for myself by saying I was venting and asking for advice?
Did X venting to other people about our friendship make it understandable that I thought it was okay to do the same, or am I using that to justify my own behaviour?
Was X justified in cutting me off without hearing my side?
How do I move on from this without constantly blaming myself and replaying every decision I made?
Please be honest. I can take accountability for my part in this, but I also don’t know if I’m carrying responsibility for things that weren’t actually mine to carry.

Hi, I’ve been using tretinoin gel 0.025% for 2 weeks, and I’m thinking of switching to the cream, but it’s only available in 0.05%. Is it significantly stronger? I did experience some irritation from the 0.025% because I wasn’t focusing on barrier repair products. Do you think I should switch? I find the gel hard to apply

Hi, I’m an IMG medical student. Does having a low GPA matter, and I also repeated a pre-clinical year. Will it lower my chances of matching ?

Hi! Has anyone here graduated within the last four years? I’d love to hear about your experience after graduation. What exams or licensing requirements did you complete, and how long did it take you to find a job afterward? Were you able to secure employment relatively quickly, or did it take some time? Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
