Doesn't include everyone, I missed some people and didn't get my hands on the official list...this is missing 20-something people:
Some of the more impressive matches for UMiami:
Mass general: Anesthesia, Medicine
UCSF: plastics
Hopkins: plastics
Wash U: Anesthesia, ophtho, peds
Miami: ophtho (#1 in country)
USC: ortho, anesthesia
UTSW: 3 surgery, 3 medicine
BU: 3 medicine, derm
emory: 2 rad oncs
cornell: 3 medicine
NYU derm
columbia rad onc
By Specialty:
Anesthesia = 13
Dermatology = 3
Emergency Med = 10
Family Med = 5
Surgery = 10
Internal Med = 33
Neuro = 5
Ob/Gyn = 4
Ophtho = 4
Orthopedics = 3
ENT = 2
Peds = 13
PMR = 1
Plastics = 2
Psych = 3
Rad Onc = 3
Radiology = 8
Urology = 1
That I know of no one went into path or neurosurgery
To clarify, this particular residency at Hopkins is at least top 3 ranked, but I found it so interesting that this person could rank the school as low as they did and still get in considering the "paper strength" of the program. But this was kind of the point: until you get to that place in your career, you just don't know what that "dream placement" is going to be.
And it seems to me we can't really judge a match list just by the looks of it, even with the strongest programs represented.
If everyone gets their first choice, that's one thing, but I've noticed THAT information is RARELY (if ever?) published.
Anyone ever see that information and not just names on a list?
I don't have the typed out stats for Columbia, but I did write down the numbers of most competitive specialties. 14 in ortho, 7 in neuro, 7 ENT, 20ish gen surg, 14ish rads. Just check the school specific page for the others that I don't recall.
whats class size? that's a lot of neurosurg
As a fourth year med student going into neurosurgery, I'm amazed to see 8 students from Yale going into the field and all matching at highly regarded nsgy programs. They might be trying to de-throne Columbia as the neurosurgery proving grounds😉
UCSF (By numbers not hospitals): medschool2.ucsf.edu/files/som/downloads/pdf/2009MatchResults.pdf
Harvey Cushing did graduate from Yale undergrad so maybe they want to continue his legacy. Even though he dumped them for Harvard Med...😉
Actually, I think based on what he's posted before, he did mean neurosurgery.
I think these things fluctuate a lot -- Yale had 8 in neurosurgery this year. I don't think you can put too much weight into how many go into each specialty -- it probably just varies a lot depending on the year and the class preferences
You also forget that Ben Carson (the modern day Michael Jordon of Neurosurgery) went to yale and is a professor at Hopkins I believe. This is a HUGE factor there.
