what? McKinsey and Co?????
Mckinsey and Bain are both consulting firms.what? McKinsey and Co?????
Mckinsey and Bain are both consulting firms.
why do they need med students?
They could consult on biotech/pharma or to goverments on healthcare probably other places as well (HMOs maybe?). They could also learn other industries, consulting firms taking MDs isn't unheard of.
Your gf?
As you may be aware, last Thursday was Match Day and our fourth year students matched exceptionally well this year. One of the Society Deans commented, "The students really reached this year in their selections and we're incredibly successful. Best match I've seen!" We are proud that many found matches in some of the country's top residency programs!
I got an email this morning from Christian at Case as I'm sure the rest of the admitted c/o 2013 students did. Sounds like things went pretty well in Cleveland on Match Day. 👍

does anybody have texas a&m's? thanks in advance!
FSU and UF are listed in the Fl. thread but UF doesn't list student names, just where and what specialty, etc.
Now we know why HMS is number 1!!! In terms of number of people in a certain specialty, that match list looks HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!
12 Derm, several in ortho, several in rad onco, etc. etc.
Even RFU's list looks hot. RFU, even when it was on probation a few years ago, had a very hot match list.
Because most people who choose to do it do it because of the easy life style combined with a high income. It didn't become the most competitive residency position because so many people find dermatology more fascinating or important than medicine/surgery/obgyn/ect.Out of curiosity how come?

Harvard undergrad education => iBanker (at least used to)
Harvard med school education => roadBanker

Harvard had 17 Derm applicants and 12 matched. It looks like most of the Harvard students were basically recruited into the affiliate hospitals.
This bothers me:
"Business/Consulting (5)
McKinsey & Co-Palo Alto, CA
McKinsey & Co-Florham Park, NI
McKinsey & Co-Washington, DC
Genzyme Corp-Cambridge, MA (Business Development Manager)
Consulting, Boston, MA"
I'm not impressed with that at all.
No, not true. Not true at all. More students matched into prelim and primary care fields than competitive fields.
Competitive fields = 90
Primary care fields = 112
Out of the ball = 8
I'm impressed with the person that matched into vascular surgery.

Most likely chasing the money. They may have found out that they were not derm or rads competitive so they go into consulting (just an assumption)
Yah that weirded me out. I wonder if these people did it cuz they were not interested in medicine after seeing how it was in the real life world of medicine. but why would they list that kinda stuff on a match list is what weirds me out.
I thought match list was for people who participate in the NRMP and san Fransisco match for purposes of medical training not those who decide against a real residency for purposes of using their MD either as a consultant or in research.
Wow. With all the folks leaving medicine altogether at Harvard, it sounds like they aren't doing a great job in inspiring people into various medical fields. When more people go into mgmt consulting than, say, neuro, that kind of suggests the school is doing something to turn off its students to medicine. It should be the very rare person who ditches what they've trained the last 4 years for, or else it signals a shortcoming, IMHO.

plus, not everyone who starts medical school ultimately chooses to practice medicine and there are few ways to repay your debt if you opt not to continue into a residency. alternatively, some people need a little time off to figure out what they want to do (and if they really want to do it)..it's not that dissimilar than what all you premeds do in between the time off from completing undergrad and starting med school.
The bolded is supposed to be very rare and is generally considered a failing by most med schools when more than 1-2 people opt not to become physicians. (And it's extremely different than what premeds do after undergrad because it's much harder to match into a residency if you arent coming from a med school.)
a school's "match" list is really used to showcase what a particular group of graduates is going into. it has morphed from simply listing the results of the match, to showing all the post grad careers.
i would bet that a few of those that are going into consulting are md/phd grads who realized pretty early on that they have zero interest in patient care, so why prolong their training even more than it already has, when they have 2 terminal degrees in hand and real-world experiences in the sciences.
