   I didn't take any classes. I don't think it's worth it to retake classes unless you are below the 3.2 minimum. I know people with lower GPAs that got through. By lower I mean 3.4-3.5. It's not everything, they care about personality a lot and want pe...

   @skippybeatz Clinicals are mostly at Kaiser facilities and those are all over. For peds and regional rotations, you will go to outside facilities. I was also sent to a non-kaiser facility for OB.

    Hey guys! I feel like the instructions for the writing portion of the interview are pretty vague. Are we to come up with a program/solution to the issue presented in the abstract? Or is it more addressing the abstract issue with an idea for a study?...
