2012 Match Lists

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Found one mistake on the website. Should be 2004. Edited original post.

But anyways, on the website they're listed as "2002 and beyond"

Yeah, 10 years is a bit on the long side for an MD/PhD. I've heard of it taking that long though at some schools.

There was a lunatic applying to neurosurgery this year that started their MD/PHD in '02. Wasnt out of Haaaaahhhvaaaahhd though.

Wow. It would feel so weird to start actually working as an attending after being a college student, med/grad student, intern, and resident for such a large proportion of your life. Maybe they can throw a fellowship or post-doc on afterward just to delay things a few more years... and that MBA always looked so tempting. :laugh:
 
If it takes you 10 years to complete your MD/PhD then you're doing it wrong. Just sayin.

I know one of the people that started in '02 doing rads; he's a complete and total stud, has multiple R01s. Some people do a md/phd because they really like research.

I know that the MD/PhD track is quite a lot different than a what a normal PhD would go through, but 6 years is pretty typical for PhD training, isn't it? Like Drizzt said, some people just enjoy research and get caught up in it, for one reason or another.

What both of you have said are true, but no MD/PhD trainee wants to be in the program for 10 years. Reasons for staying 10 years in the program are almost never positive. Maybe you did discover something cool in your 4th year and wanted to pursue it but more often it is because your adviser left, you only picked 1 risky project and it didn't pan out at the end of your 3rd or 4th year, you were in a coma for 2 years, etc.
 
Yeah, that makes sense, and I can't imagine coming back to your clinical years and having to muster info you learned 6 years ago. Mother of God.

:laugh: I can just imagine their first clinical encounter after coming back. "And that's why the b33 subunit's conformational change is important to signal transduction in our murine model! Wait, what were we talking about? Oh right, you have diabetes. Let me go look that up..."

Both of the MD/PhDs that went into rads were in the HST program and both have multiple patents on their discoveries during their PhD. The one guy I met did two post-doc years after his PhD before going back to med school. All you know is when they finished med school, not when they got their PhD. They may well have gotten their PhD in 3-4 years.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say HST MD/PhD's are not your typical MD/PhD's... but yes, you're right, it doesn't mean it took them 6 years to get their PhD.

In grad school land, i.e. not MD/PhD students, 6 year PhD's in science are the norm, not the exception. They're kind of touchy about the fact that their MD/PhD counterparts often get "rushed through" their PhD in a much shorter time frame.

Like I said, there are some outliers like that and coming from HST I'm not surprised but most are not like that. They must have discovered something cool that last year and thought it was worth it to pursue. Still it doesn't make much sense to do a postdoc after your PhD and still continue to go back to med school for 2 years so there is something more to this story either you do not know or are not telling us.

Is it just me or is that an awful lot of transitional year matches. I was under the impression that those were going the way of the dodo bird.

Pretty much everyone that does derm, rad onc, ophtho, and rads will do a TY, and a big chunk of pm&r and anes will as well.

Yeah. In general, TYs tend to be preferred over prelim years when comparing schedules and programs. Of course, other factors come into play like location and such but TYs generally are more sought after.
 
Can someone post the match list for Hopkins this year?

Out of curiosity, between JHU, UPenn (http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showpost.php?p=12290943&postcount=108) and HMS (http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showpost.php?p=12348285&postcount=246), which school's match list is the "least"/most impressive?
 
Last edited:
Just based on the Penn, HMS, and Hopkins list, I'd say Penn is probably the most impressive, but not by any significant degree. I think they just show that if you're a student there, you essentially just have to pick your specialty and what city you want to end up in and you'll pretty much match into the best program in that city.

That said, who's the poor schlub that matched into Downstate anesthesia out of Hopkins? Man, what the hell did they do?

Disagree, I think Harvard's is much better. The easiest way to evaluate match lists is by IM matches; HMS matched 24/36 into top 4 programs, Penn 9/24, Hopkins 7/13. Granted two of the top 4 programs are Harvard affiliates and part of this is Hopkins and HMS having a better medicine program than Penn but the point still remains. The rest of their match list is extremely strong as well including rads, plastics, ENT, ortho, neurosx, etc. Penn and Hopkins (and Wash U's) lists are all very strong but not quite as good IMO. Yale also did very well this year.
 
It's odd to see two at USC for Hopkins...I thought they tended to be lower on the prestige scale. I wonder what inspired them to rank usc higher coming from a school like Hopkins and (presumably) having a lot of options...
 
I know of at least one guy that matched at Hopkins in a well respected surgical field for which they are VERY highly regarded. And it was his 5th choice. Looks impressive, but is it really? Not so sure.

The most impressive lists would be those that get people where they want to be. And that we'll never REALLY know.

Analyzing these lists is just a curiosity at best.

They may have personal reasons for choosing a specific location or another and they ranked it higher than other programs. They may have enjoyed their interview experience better there or the program has a specific offering they were looking for. I don't know anything about the USC program, but it's similar sometimes to people who decide community over academic. There's nothing inherently wrong with these decisions depending on one's career goals. Sure, certain programs may be lower on the "prestige" scale to outside viewers but if that's where you'll be happy and the program fills your needs it's hard to knock it. Or, worst case scenario one or the other messed up their interviews or some over aspect and matched outside of their top 3.

My guess is they wanted to be in LA and didn't match at Ucla.
 
In response to the comment on Rush's ortho match list, this is an example of how you don't need a strong department to match well.

I think people read into these lists too much. There is this assumption that people will always gravitate towards the most prestigious residencies or specialties. While that might be true sometimes, there are way too many variables in play to analyze anything.

For example, maybe that person had a spouse who had a job near USC, maybe that person went to USC for undergrad and really liked it, maybe that person interviewed at USC and loved the residents/program/curriculum, etc. Not everyone is going to go to MGH is given the chance...and not everyone wants to go to a ROAD-type of speciality (even if they are extremely qualified).

I think you can group match lists by tiers but comparing one school vs another specific one I think is just overanalyzing it. Furthermore, there is a lot of fluctuation on an annual basis.

There are many reasons people pick programs other than prestige.If you are from Hopkins you don't have to prove anything to yourself or others.
 
People from socal understand it's very unlikely someone doing IM would choose USC over Ucla given the choice.

In response to the comment on Rush's ortho match list, this is an example of how you don't need a strong department to match well.

Don't know if you realize this, but Rush's Ortho Dept. is very strong (top 10 in USNEWS ranking). Which reinforces the other post pointing out how a strong department helps you match well. In competitive surgical sub specialties, coming from a strong department helps without a doubt.

The poster was pointing out how Tufts, which does not have a particularly strong ortho department, managed to have an excellent match list regardless

In an excellent match at Tufts, 4/10 go to top programs (impressive, i agree).

But Rush is putting 7/7 into big name ortho programs... you don't see that very often, except maybe at top 5 schools. This comparison is just further illustration of the benefit of having Rush as your home program.

Rush's list is certainly good. U of Wisconsin and Case Western are solid, but I'm not sure I'd call them big names in the world of orthopaedics. For Tufts to put 2 at Harvard in one year is very, very impressive.

You could say the same for Yale and Duke, though.

Either way, it's not really worth splitting hairs. Congrats to the studs from Rush and Tufts for landing those spots :thumbup:
