1. If you were to match at your home medical school for residency in your specialty, and they offered starting you in residency 2 months Early (May 1st instead of July), how likely would you be to take them up?
2. If you were offered to start residency 9 months Early (Oct M4 yr) at your home medical school, but meant you were LOCKED their program, how likely would you be to take them up?
(ie less tuition, no interview trail, no NRMP, early med school grad = end residency sooner)

#MRSA first made its way to the greater medical knowledge in its debut publication in the @bmj_latest in 1961.
Since then, it has been chewing up penicillin (or at least altering its penicillin binding proteins) and making a name for itself.
You can now buy it in cute plush toy format :)
