2012 Match Lists

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Does anyone have Rosalind Franklin match list?

The school hasn't published the external list yet. Geographically, the preliminary copy shows a NYC-SoCal-Chicago distribution that seems pretty typical for us.

Anyone have VCU/MCV or Brody/ECU?
 
Wow "top schools," really good job addressing the primary care shortage.
 
The 43% includes things like IM ....of which the majority will probably do fellowships and not go into primary care.

Well, obviously. That being said, if IM doesn't count as primary care, what does?
 
Just meant that if harvard was bragging about the percent they have going into "primary care" they are full of crap.

Columbia
A strange match for us. Super high levels of interest in peds and neurology. This class also had the highest Step 1 average ever at Columbia.

Do you know what the Step 1 average was?
 
That's a very high number of neurology applicants for one medical school. It seems that half of the incoming resident class is going to be internal candidates!

I've heard a lot of speculation about neurology becoming a competitive specialty in the not-so-distant future. Decent reimbursement, decent lifestyle, the layman "wow" factor, and a stack of new interventions coming through the pipeline.

Lol
 
For the most part these lists (with some exceptions, BNI neurosurg, BP ophtho, and a few others) will be MGH, BWH, UCSF, Hopkins, Penn, UCLA, Mayo, Wash U, Duke, Columbia, Cornell, etc in some order. Not particularly useful if you ask me. There are a few exceptions where the traditionally top programs aren't elite, like UCSF/MGH peds and Columbia rads, but they're few and far between.

I found it interesting how you were able to single out these programs, especially Columbia radiology, as not being elite. I'm curious as to why this is so and if this is common knowledge in academic circle. I'd think they'd still be rather competitive residency spots considering general reputation and location. If not elite, I'd assume they're still very good programs?

Mid tier at best. Lots of flux, including multiple PDs and chairs leaving.
 
This is def true. NYU and Cornell>>Columbia rads as far as quality and rep go in rads circles. Drizz, mind sharing your thoughts/list on elite rads?

If you enjoy sitting around for hours and pontificating about lesion locations and then getting an MRI anyway, go for it. As far as interventions, neurologists will be taking a back seat to the neurosurgeons and interventional neuroradiologists for the foreseeable future.

In rads circles I think in NY it's like NYU ~ Cornell >> Monti = Sinai = Columbia > SLR = Jacobi etc.

As far as elite programs go, I think this is sort of a difficult question to answer because people have different wants/needs in a program. That being said, most people would agree a reasonable top 5 for academics would be MIR/UCSF/MGH/PENN/JHU in some order. It's the next 5-10 that are more controversial; I'd personally say bwh, duke, stanford, Washington, ucla, mayo, nyu would fit in the elite category as well. That being said, i feel like there's not too much difference between the top 15 programs. I ranked Ucla above a lot of programs that people consider "higher ranked" and generally the contention is that mgh/bwh/sf/Ucla/Stanford are the most competitive in terms of difficulty matching, with Washington and Penn close behind. As you can see, there's a lot of variability. There are also elite community programs that would give great training for private practice like Baylor Dallas...

Yeah, I understand that. It's just speculation, nothing more. Maybe our MS3/4's are sipping the kool aid, but a decent number of our top students go into neurology each year.

[I'm personally not interested in it, just shooting the **** here.]

I'd say this is pretty consistent with what I've heard from rads attendings at my institution. I've been told JHU and Penn alternate for 1/2 in terms of NIH funding from someone at Penn. However, I've also heard that JHU has an academics or die mentality and they aren't very supportive if people eventually want to end up in PP. I've also heard MIR has ridiculous resources.

The rest of the list are all superstars but provide you with dramatically different locations for 4-5 years of your life, which I imagine alters difficulty in terms of matching (i.e. Rochester, MN vs LA/SF).

And as always, these lists fail to acknowledge that top programs exist between the two coasts.

Pitt, Uchicago, Northwestern, UTSW, Baylor, Michigan, and even less big name schools like Wisconsin and Iowa have fantastic residency programs that are top in their field.

They tend to get less name recognition however then the boston, Philly, and NY programs, but don't assume a match isn't good because of a lack of MGH/Penn/BWH/Hopkins.
 
I'm curious, what exactly makes a rads program elite? I'm quite ignorant of the field, and while I know surgical subspecialties are heavily driven by the skills of the attendings and residents they train, I'm unsure how one grades radiology programs.

NIH funding, prominent faculty, and like surgical specialties, the case mix, complex volume, etc. Often the quality of surgical subspecialties helps define the quality of the program.
 
I think Stanford is always #1 in NIH funding. Sam Gambir, their chair, has $15m in grants per year on his own.

Radiology residency quality is a complicated topic. There is a discussion ongoing related to "top" radiology residency programs at Auntminnie.com, that can be accessed here:
http://www.auntminnie.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=342082

For non-members, here's the breakdown (remember, these are not hard and fast rankings, just a delineation of commonly competitive academic programs -- for more info, read the discussion on the above linked forum):

1) UCSF
1) MGH
---
2) PENN
2) MIR
2) Hopkins
2) Duke
2) U Michigan
2) U Washington
2) Stanford
2) BWH

3) Mayo Clinic - Rochester
3) UCLA

5) Cornell
5) UNC
5) Indiana
5) Thomas Jefferson

My list had two Midwestern programs on it (and I probably should have put Michigan, although I personally didn't like it too much, it certainly qualifies as elite, I just forgot.

I think UW, UPMC, UTSW, and Northwestern would all be in the 10-20 range, while the other programs are good but probably slightly lower in the academic hierarchy. I go to Wisconsin so I obviously know it has a strong academic reputation.

Also, for the premeds and junior med students here, I think program reputation should only be one of the factors one uses in deciding where to go for residency. For me, the most important factors were the best mix of rep/location, and for me (and many others) CA was the preferred location, lifestyle, then general gestalt. That led the east coast programs to be ranked lower than the west coast (and even Midwest) programs.
 
Yeah, idk, it's just what i heard from someone at Penn who has multiple RO1s. I always thought Stanford was a smaller enterprise than Harvard/Penn/JHU but the quality of their research was arguably better (higher NIH/faculty than anywhere else). I know that's definitely the case for its medical school but IDK about the rads dept specifically.

Sorry, I meant #1 in funding specifically under the umbrella of the medical schools as per us news. Here's the top 10 by department in FY '10, also keep in mind much NIH funding for radiology is in different departments, like bme, med physics, and EE, so it doesn't show up on this list.

"for the premeds and junior med students here, I think program reputation should only be one of the factors one uses in deciding where to go for residency. For me, the most important factors were the best mix of rep/location, and for me (and many others) CA was the preferred location, lifestyle, then general gestalt."

Agree with above sentiment; rep/location/personal factors, plus gut feel

My list had two Midwestern programs on it (and I probably should have put Michigan, although I personally didn't like it too much, it certainly qualifies as elite, I just forgot.

I think UW, UPMC, UTSW, and Northwestern would all be in the 10-20 range, while the other programs are good but probably slightly lower in the academic hierarchy. I go to Wisconsin so I obviously know it has a strong academic reputation.

My bad, I was talking about residencies in general not radiology in particular (which I know next to nothing about). I was just saying that when you look at "top lists" made by people who aren't intimately familiar with a given field, they tend to leave out the top programs between philly and San francisco.
 
If you enjoy sitting around for hours and pontificating about lesion locations and then getting an MRI anyway, go for it. As far as interventions, neurologists will be taking a back seat to the neurosurgeons and interventional neuroradiologists for the foreseeable future.

You have proven how little you actually know about neurology. As far as interventions, how many neurological diseases are managed surgically or ever will be? Only a select few. Clinical correlation to MRI findings is critical unless you want to be the one calling the R/O MS consult for just another young person with migraine and some white matter hyperintensities. Time for you to get some experience or train at a respected program that is strong in many specialities.

Real life neuro doesn't have "hours of pontificating". Maybe teaching med students like you requires some pontificaiton.
I'd say other specialties use radiology at least as much (cardiologist using echos for example).
And the vast majority of treatments of neuro disease (MS, Parkinsons, dementias, the majority of strokes, migraine, epilepsy) does not involve surgery or interventional radiologists.

Not to mention that neurologists are well positioned to take many of the interventional procedures from neurosurgery. Why? Theres about 10x more neurologists then neurosurgeons.

Great, who's going to train them in the interventional procedures? Radiologists and neurosurgeons who have an incentive to train their own. Who makes more sense to hire? Probably the neurosurgeon who can do interventional work, in addition to operations that bring in money to fund the rest of the hospita;l not to mention maintain level-1 trauma status.
 
There used to be a number of triple boarded neurology/neurorads/interventional neurorads cases. However, they were all canceled, because people felt the neuro training was superfluous.
 
Nope. With the new healthcare laws just over the horizon, those guys are going to be our new overlords.
 
Any resident match list experts feel like weighing in on the strength of CU's match list this year?

Lots of EM, lots of primary care, few top academic programs in almost all fields.
 
Do you know what the Step 1 average was?

As was stated, 237. I'm interested to hear what the average is going to be for my class. The estimate earlier on was 240, but apparently it may be higher. We are the first class of the new curriculum where you do clinical stuff first plus have 10 weeks off. (most people studied 5-7).
