match

What happens if you find yourself in a program that does not reflect the description on the match and was not made known during the interview? I am extremely frustrated finding myself in a program that most likely mislead me and my internmates with inaccurate information in order to fill their...

Hey guys long time lurker. I'll start with my question more info on me below. I have 1 overseas elective to gain USCE, where is the best place to goto with my stats which will help me match later on? My preference is West Coast over East Coast, i have Nevada residency. I'm from Small Private...

Hi all. Current MS4 here, plan on applying to general surgery. Currently working on my list of programs to apply to. I go to a school in the south where one of our main hospitals has a patient population where ~85% of the patients speak Spanish (not even an exaggeration). Being that I am not a...

I just finished up my first year of med school and am very much interested in ortho. I am at a huge research institute, but had multiple issues with the ortho faculty in trying to do research with them this summer. I am working with a breast surgeon instead. I am also doing some derm research on...

Does anyone know if there are any inherent disadvantages (perception as less than green) for doing blue book electives. I will do enough green book to be licensed in all 50 states, but the rest blue. I want to match IM, not interested in prestigious programs (literally just want to match), am an...

I'd be interested in doing a HHMI fellowship, but I'm already partway through my fourth year. I was curious if anyone on this forum has any experience with this program, and in particular, the logistics of doing such a research year after their fourth year of medical school. Is that even...

Has anyone here matched into top specialities/top hospitals? What were all your achievements, scores, research etc?

Hello everyone. Does anyone know how easy/hard it is to match in Canada as a Canadian citizen who completed their MD in the US? I know according to CARMS they can match in the first iteration, but that does not necessarily mean there would be enough seats for them and/or no bias in favor of...

Hello everyone, I am an IMG looking at the possibility of applying to the 2018 Match. I graduate medical school this May. I have not taken any USMLE exams yet, so bare with me please. Possible Scenario: - I miraculously manage to take Step 1 by late July/early August (and get a score before...

Stats: FMG from a non ACGME-certified school (yeah...i know looks bad already :/) Honors on 2 away ophtho electives the US 2 first authorship papers here in ophthalmology 1 abstract submitted to AAO for review (might or might not end up as a poster in AAO's annual meeting this year) Small...

I am a Canadian citizen who doesn't have a Green Card, but I have done my high school and undergrad in the US. I am currently doing MD in a LCME accredited US Medical school. I have not lived in Canada for last 10 years. Since I am a Canadian citizen, what would be the best avenue for me to...

Hello everyone, I have been accepted into a great DO school that I feel very comfortable at. I did not apply to any MD schools in the last application cycle. I am a Canadian student and I have always been interested in pathology. I got the impression from many people that it would be easy for...

A few weeks ago, I had the misfortune of missing an examination in my first year of Medical School. My alarm malfunctioned that night and somehow reset itself in the middle of the night. I could not prove to the school's administration that I had a malfunction with my alarm, but regardless I...

Since the other thread is just for Match posting, can we have a thread for match discussion. How strong would you consider this list? Anesthesiology-14 UMichx3 WSU/DMC Stanford BI Deaconess Icahn Case Western Emory Cedars-Sinai (CA) Beaumont MCW UCincy Northwestern (research) Kaiser...

Hello all, I got matched to an anesthesiology advanced program. I could not get a match to preliminary position. I tried during soap but did not even get a call (I am and IMG). Since then I have been trying to call all programs and email them. Most of them do not revert, some do and mention...

So I matched into psychiatry and I am ecstatic. I applied to psychiatry and internal medicine (as a back up) and I was about 75% sure I wanted psychiatry, and 25% IM. So, I went with my gut. As happy as I am, I feel as though I am going to miss IM. But the thought of rounding for countless...

US-Allo senior applied to Psych, but didn't match. SOAP'ed into FM to have a job but still really want psych. Applied t0 40 programs, 5 invites, all ranked. Steps: 219/246/P. Red flag: Repeat MS-3 b/c clerkship failures, dx and treated for depression. Explained in PS. Genuinely became interested...

Best of luck to all!!!! What time you got your results: What program: Stats:

Hi, Any kind SDNer willing to post a list of unmatched programs? Is it against the NRMP rules? (Particularly looking for surgery program lists). Thanks ds

The University of Miami Department of Dermatology in Miami, FL is offering a 1-2 year dermatologic surgery research fellowship under the mentorship of Dr. Keyvan Nouri Description: A great opportunity for a highly-motivated individual who is interested in participating in clinical/translational...

I thought I'd start this as it seems to be a common inquiry as well as personally for me. Is there any good way to gauge if applying to a backup specialty is necessary/worth the time when applying to more competitive specialties such as Dermatology, Orthopedics, etc.? Specifically, this question...

I have a confirmation email from 9:00, but it still says "ranking" and not certified.. I was switching back and forth between my two top spots + kept re-certifying. I know, stupid stupid stupid mistake.. Is this even heard of? I'm sick to my stomach.

Hi all! So, I was fortunate enough to match with my number 1 *kazoo noise*, which I ranked #1 because of the quality of the training. My number 2 site was amazing and is a place I would like to actually work in the future. I'd like to send an email to the DCT at my #2 to thank them for the...

I have a graduate degree in neuroscience and am really really banking on being able to match to Neurology. It's the whole reason I became interested in medicine. To what extent does the school you attend affect your likelihood of getting into a particular specialty? What (if any) schools are...

I know it's a bit early to be thinking about the match for next year, but my professional development rotation is having us write a cover letter/personal statement and resume/CV for our "next step". Thought this was a good time to get my first rough draft written down! My question is how to...

Simple little question: Have people heard of or experienced two people from the same program matching at the same site? Essentially, I'm wondering if internship programs would rank applicants further apart if they are from the same program to ensure diversity of interns. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm trying to organize my rank list. I attend medical school in New York but I'm originally from the Midwest and I'm trying to match in the Midwest for residency. I'm having trouble differentiating between the many Ohio programs and was wondering how you would all rank them based...

So I think I have decent chances of matching in 1 of 2 prospective programs... One of them is a university-based IM residency program, this program has been going on for 2 years now, it is in a level 3 trauma center. They will complete the cycle with the 2017 residents. The medical school is...

I'm a second year DO student, and I was wondering what the differences that you people value more when choosing whether to match AOA or ACGME? Assuming that location doesn't matter, and you can match into the specialty with both, why choose one over the other (i.e. If you could do EM, why...

More than 8,000 doctor graduates for each of the last 5 years have not matched into a post-graduate residency position. This "fall-out" compounds each successive year and the deficit continues to grow. Without post-graduate training these unlicensed doctors cannot work in Medicine. They are...

I am the furthest from being an admissions expert, and this might come off as a dumb question, but as someone going to through the ups and downs of admissions season I have been wondering is there has ever been any discussion of incorporating a match system to the AMCAS like the residency match...

Is anyone taking the day off of rotation for match day? I'm thinking if I do match I'll be too excited to focus on patient care and if I don't match I'll need to put all my energy into phase II match. Thoughts or previous experience with this?

Does anyone know whether there are any stats out about odds of matching to your top choice on your rank list? Top 3, top 5, and so forth? I searched around but can't seem to find these numbers. Thanks in advance and good luck!

If these were your top two choices, how would you rank these programs? Program A: At home institution 3-4 hours from home (being semi-close is somewhat important to you) Already know you love the faculty and know they are good teachers At mid-tier institution that's not as well known...

Hi everyone, I'm currently in a Canadian MD program and looking for some insight into how I can build up my CV in order to be a competitive applicant for residency. As of now, I'm a year into my program. Seeing as I will graduate with an LCME-accredited degree, I won't be considered an IMG...

I'm having one hell of a time trying to order my rank list. Location is semi important, but so is my significant other's preference (couples matching into peds). I also know that I want to do an IR fellowship. I have narrowed down my top 6 to: UPMC Cincinnati U Illinois - Chicago Einstein (PA)...
