No dermatology or ophthalmology? Looks like Pritzker isn't the school for me...

 

[ICanDoThis]

Wow, I'm really impressed by the new Pritzker matchlist! Thanks for posting!

 

[TigerSoup]

Pritzker always has such shiny match lists, thanks for posting it! I heard though that you can't simply evaluate them based on name recognition, that the best programs aren't necessarily at schools that I associate with being on top (though who knows, I may care more about location when the time comes anyway). Does anyone know of somewhere that gives a general idea of where are the most sought-after spots in each field?

That is simply phenomenal!

No dermatology or ophthalmology? Looks like Pritzker isn't the school for me...

Unless you are real hot stuff (eg: >40 MCAT, 3.9 gpa), I wouldn't really judge a top school by lack of interest in its students to go into derm/ophtho.

 

[littlealex]

The schools are phenomenal, but the specialty they got are pretty average. Most of the class matched into internal medicine.

 

[Law2Doc]

The schools are phenomenal, but the specialty they got are pretty average.

You all have to bear in mind that the same schools that are tops for med school or undergrad may not be for given specialties. Each has its own hierarchy. Hence you cannot really read a match list because you simply don't know what programs are good versus middling. As you get closer to selecting a specialty, your mentors will let you know which places are good versus malignant. As an undergrad looking at a list, you are just randomly guessing. It is likely that some of the places not bolded by the prior poster actually have the better programs in some of the fields the students selected.

 

[ninjapenguin]

Unless you are real hot stuff (eg: >40 MCAT, 3.9 gpa), I wouldn't really judge a top school by lack of interest in its students to go into derm/ophtho.

And I even threw on the "sarcastic smiley" to make it painfully obvious to overzealous birdbrains such as yourself... what a lost cause SDN has become.

P.S. I'm hot stuff, just not real hot stuff. Does my opinion still matter?

My bad. Sarcasm often gets lost in the internet.

 

[nosugrefneb]

Does anyone know of somewhere that gives a general idea of where are the most sought-after spots in each field?

It doesn't necessarily correlate with strong residency programs, but the US News hospital rankings will give you a basic idea of how well-reputed certain fields are at a given institution.

Most of the class matched into internal medicine.

Yeah, it was a big IM year for Pritzker apparently. Not quite sure why. IM is always the best represented in our match, but moreso this year.

 

[Law2Doc]

It doesn't necessarily correlate with strong residency programs, but the US News hospital rankings will give you a basic idea of how well-reputed certain fields are at a given institution.

I wouldn't put a lot of stock in those rankings -- nobody really uses US News to pick residency programs and the data it is based on is just too sketchy. This is a word of mouth business. When you get to later years of med school, you will snag a mentor in a field you are interested in. Your mentor will know the players, know which programs are good versus malignant. Some of the biggest name schools have some of the less desirable programs in certain fields so don't assume that just because it's a brand name place (at the med school level) it's good in everything.

[LO281OK]

IM gets the highest percentage from most schools, but think about it this way: Internal Medicine leads to Cardiology, Endocrinology, Nephrology, Infectious Disease, Rheumatology, Gastroenterology, etc... specialties. It's not necessarily an end in itself.

Also, the quality of the program you are looking at depends on what your goals are. The same Orth Residency may look different to a med student that wants to be one of the top surgeons at a well-known academic hospital vice one that wants to become proficient and do lots of surgery. The former wants a good research institution while the latter would prefer somewhere they get more patients... Also, residency location tends to influence where people go afterward (contacts formed during training, etc...) so some people take that into acct when choosing where they want to match.

 

[Chizwheel]

why is this in the pre-medical forum? I really would encourage people not to pick their medical school based on the match lists. The lists are very variable depending on the current "hot" fields that year and match lists are very difficult to interpret if you aren't an M3 or M4. Also, most pre-meds have no clue which residency programs are the best in the field and most non-medical people don't really know which are the most desirable and difficult spots to land.

There are a lot more factors that go into picking a residency and what type of career you want to pursue than what shows up on a match list. For example, Harvard medical school does not match every one of its students into derm, ortho, ENT, plastics, urology, etc, nor is Harvard the best residency for every field.

Although it's interesting to see the match lists, I would strongly advise against using these lists to try to find which med schools are better than others.


(p.s. U.S. News & World report is the WORST place to rank med schools/residencies. You will have more statistically significant answers asking a hobo sleeping in a gutter)

 

[nosugrefneb]

why is this in the pre-medical forum?

Well, where would you have put it? I'm trying to be helpful and informative here. I don't think most current medical students or residents really care about match lists at other schools.

(p.s. U.S. News & World report is the WORST place to rank med schools/residencies. You will have more statistically significant answers asking a hobo sleeping in a gutter)

At no point did I say you should use US News to rank programs or determine which programs are best. I said they "will give you a basic idea of how well-reputed certain fields are at a given institution." Nothing more.

 

[nosugrefneb]

I think I misread the original question I was responding to, though. Check out Charting Outcomes In The Match to get a better idea of specific numbers within each field (applicants vs. spots, etc.).

no derm? wtf!? there goes to paying astronomical tuition for "brand name" educaiton

[Law2Doc]

I said they "will give you a basic idea of how well-reputed certain fields are at a given institution." Nothing more.

I think most people further down the road would disagree with even the above statement though. I second the sleeping hobo comment.

I don't see anything wrong with putting this thread in pre-allo, per se. I just think folks should avoid this kind of raw data in their own decision making processes. This kind of stuff is interesting but not enlightening. That nobody at Chicago is doing derm doesn't tell you whether anyone wanted derm and didn't get it, or if it simply was of no interest. So does that mean if you think you want derm then Chicago is not the med school for you? Probably not.
And counting the number of brand name schools (as a prior poster seemed to be doing) is silly when some of those schools may not even be particularly good in certain fields.

#2 is easy. You cannot. you aren't in a position as a premed to evaluate residencies because it requires access to a mentor in your desired specialty to give you the word of mouth about various programs. And as a premed you are likely to change your mind about specialties at least once along the way, so really no point considering that now. Not to mention that programs and specialties fall into and out of favor over the course of 4 years. waste of time to consider that in the application cycle. Late in 3rd year is when you start to worry about this.

As for #1, there is actually a good active thread in pre-allo discussing this right now. Look at things like location, curriculum, cost, grading systems, availability of research opportunities. Things that actually are going to matter to you over the next 4 years. If you do well, any allo school will be a decent launch pad for where you want to end up next.

Thanks for your answer, but i think you read too much into my residency question (probably due to my poor wording) - I am not in the least concerned about that now - just asking for future reference, asking for the perspective of an MS3 and up...

 

[Law2Doc]

Thanks for your answer, but i think you read too much into my residency question (probably due to my poor wording) - I am not in the least concerned about that now - just asking for future reference, asking for the perspective of an MS3 and up...

Yeah, I think I covered that earlier in the thread. Once you get deeper into med school and more certain about a specialty you will find yourself a mentor and you will talk to him about residencies. This is very much a word of mouth business, and folks in the field will know best what places are good vs malignant, where the current mecca of the specialty is, who is doing the exciting research etc. There is no list, and every specialty has a very different hierarchy of what places are good and what aren't (and it's frequently not even close to what you'd expect). If you are asking about what you'll find important in choosing a residency, top on the list is going to be that good vs malignant thing -- you don't want to go work someplace where everybody is treated poorly. After that, things like location and family tend to loom largest. By 4 years later you may have spouse or family obligations and not be as mobile as you tend to be coming right out of college. And then certainly programs where you'll get to actually do the kind of stuff you hope to do. If you plan to go into a certain kind of surgery you wouldn't want to go to a program which rarely does it, or if you want to go into trauma you wouldn't want to go to a suburban residency that doesn't even accept those cases. But you'll learn all the stuff you need to know from word of mouth when you get to that stage, not now.

Why?

I guess I'm just biased against derm because you hear so many people wanting to set up a botox farm and live the good life. It's not that derms don't do good works though, especially for people with actual skin conditions, so it's not that I disagree on an individual level to people going derm (for example, I know someone who had a life affecting skin condition, and she wants to help others with similar problems). I just worry over the general tread of so many of the highest achieving people going into the specialty when they might be doing a lot better for society in other places. So even though the lack of derm matches probably reflects people not being *accepted* into derm, I choose to be optimistic/naive and interpret it as a rejection of materialism/aestheticism in favor of a greater social awareness.

PS I am really fond of and appreciate my own dermatologist, despite how many botox etc ads she's got in the waiting room. It's not that I don't think that no one with enormous smarts should want to go into derm, just that the specialty isn't worth the brain sink that it's increasingly becoming.

[lalalala]

This begs 2 questions:

1) What is the best way for a pre-med o evaluate med schools? What criteria matter the most?

2) Same thing for residencies...

#1 -- it's really not the stuff you do the first 2 years that even matters and that's the stuff they push on you during interviews/tours. dig around and find out what THIRD year is like. thats the year thats most important. residencies could care less if you PBLed it through the first 2 years or had some other varied curriculum. seriously... do not pick a school because it has PBL. use other criteria. i have heard too many stories from weill students (moreso than from NW students interestingly) that PBL wastes their time and takes away from focused board prep. go to a school that thoroughly covers the meat and potatoes of the first two years without any bells or whistles, and you will be prepped for boards. don't be that student that aces the first 2 years and then flails on boards...

#2 residencies are very much specific to the field. for instance, EM. if you go by the traditional thought, you'd think oh, harvard, stanford, etc. are the best. wrong! its places like U of Cincinnati, Carolinas, etc. As a pre-med did I know about those places? No way! But once you get into your third/fourth year of med school, you start absorbing this info.

bottom line, unless your school is top, say 12, ranking is not going to make a difference. the name value of the school will help you out -- but won't replace hard work and good evals -- if you are in the top 10. you may get interviews you wouldn't necessarily get for residency if you were at a lower school with similar stats. BUT do not go to a school where you have to pay exorbitant amounts of money just b/c it is a private school thats ranked in the top 40, over your state school.

 

[chudog15]

as a florida resident, it would be difficult to pass up on mt sinai. the difference in tuition is about 16k per year. my concern is that staying in-state would make it hard for me to land a residency up north, or anywhere out of the south. isn't region/locality of the med school somewhat signifcant for residency?

 

[chudog15]

I meant pass up on mt sinai for UF. sorry

 

[lalalala]

regionality is important, but your grades/scores are more important. and also the department of your school that you want to do residency in is important. for instance, at least 2 fields where florida is better than mt sinai: UF has a great surgery department. letters from UF faculty would probably go a long way. same for radiation oncology--University of Florida is VERY well known in this field. letters from florida faculty would let you match anywhere, provided research/grades/scores are in check.

i would go to your state school... mt sinai isn't going to make that much more of a difference. you can still match in NY at the very least. california would be hard, but california is hard for ANY region except the west.

 

[lord_jeebus]

Many programs seem to show a preference for their own students, but beyond that being local isn't much of an issue. Programs may need to be convinced that you would actually rank them highly if you are not from the area -- interviews are expensive for everyone.

For example if you are originally from CA and go to an East Coast school, you may want to note in your application that returning to CA is a priority for you.

[SocialistMD]

The schools are phenomenal, but the specialty they got are pretty average. Most of the class matched into internal medicine.

A plurality of graduates go into internal medicine.

mtd0130- Where did you find UT-H's match list on their website? It isn't posted where they have put it in the past.

 

[paranoid_eyes]

I guess I'm just biased against derm because you hear so many people wanting to set up a botox farm and live the good life. It's not that derms don't do good works though, especially for people with actual skin conditions, so it's not that I disagree on an individual level to people going derm (for example, I know someone who had a life affecting skin condition, and she wants to help others with similar problems). I just worry over the general tread of so many of the highest achieving people going into the specialty when they might be doing a lot better for society in other places. So even though the lack of derm matches probably reflects people not being *accepted* into derm, I choose to be optimistic/naive and interpret it as a rejection of materialism/aestheticism in favor of a greater social awareness.

actually, the limited derm spots are probably due to the fact that the less dermatologist you have, the higher the demand for any individual dermatologist, and the more money he/she makes.

Honestly, if you have the smarts, why not go into derm/plastics? Why would you slave your life away for mediocre pay as a FP or internist when you could be "helping people" and making the dough? Dermatologists have great hours, relatively easy work, good pay, and a good lifestyle in general. When you are like 50 years old, these things are really important.

Can someone please elaborate on the issue of regionality in the match?

There is none. I grew up in Maryland, went to med school at Duke, and matched in Medicine-Pediatrics at UCSD. I went on three west coast interviews and was warmly received at all of them. The only thing regionality contributes to in the match is very locally, like between Duke and UNC, the programs know each other well and respect each others' students. Otherwise, region shouldn't limit you.

Politics/connections are significant in more competitive things like derm, plastics, and radiology, but that is not always region-based as much as it is simply who the people in the department of that field at your school know and who you get to know.

The biggest influence of regionality tends to be on an applicant's own match list--i.e. if you want to be in a particular part of the country.

Do you know the match stats for the MSTP students? Are they included in this list?

 

[LoneCoyote]

Can someone please elaborate on the issue of regionality in the match?

If you know you want to end up in a certain area of the country, there is some advantage to going to medical school in that region. For example, I'm at school in California and 75% of my class matched in California. Most of the people who wanted to stay in CA were able to do so. Many medical schools will take many of their own students as residents, so this will increase your chances of staying in the area. Also, it is a small world in academic medicine and a letter of recommendation from attendings at your school will likely be well-received by others in that region who may know your letter writer well. You may also have opportunities to attend regional conferences in medical school and to network with people from other programs in the area.

That said, it is definitely still possible to match into another area of the country that is different from where you go to school. You may want to do an away rotation at a program in the area you want to match into to show your interest. Or you can tailor your personal statement to address why you want to be in that area. Letters of rec from people well-known in their field will also likely be well-received in an part of the country. I did encounter some regionalism at interviews, "ie why would you want to leave CA to come here?" But for the most part if you have a good explanation it shouldn't be an issue. Hope that helps.

 

[Law2Doc]

For example, I'm at school in California and 75% of my class matched in California. Most of the people who wanted to stay in CA were able to do so.

But that's kind of self selecting statistics. Folks who wanted to go to med school in CA are the same people more likely to want to do residency in CA. Doesn't mean that there aren't folks elsewhere in the country who couldn't have snagged all those spots if they had any interest in being in CA, or that your class could have had the same percentage success at east coast schools if they didn't have a goal of staying in CA. If you do well in school and boards at a good allo school, you have a good shot at any residency anywhere. The fact that folks in state X often stay in state X doesn't go tell you as much about their odds at matching there over OOSers, just that their desire to stay there was probably greater than OOSers. Again, it's hard to look at raw data and draw conclusions since you don't know what people at various schools are shooting for. What you read as success could really be default.
