"What Happens If I Do Not Match To A Position?
Number of applicants
My home institution had 2-3 times more internal applicants compared to previous years, and my understanding is that it is the same at some other institutions. In any case, we should always plan for the worst and hope for the best.
Interesting....I’m assuming your home institution is outside of New York
I interviewed at UCI. I liked their program actually. The only downside compared to the places you are mentioning is that they do <20 SCS cases/year, not certified for DRG and are slowly starting to do vertebral interspaces/SI joint fusion.
Also NYU? anyone have insights into their program? Specifically verteflex, stim, and kypho number?
There's a lot of flux on PDs lately on the east coast it seems. It would be odd to appoint someone just a year out of fellowship, but I imagine it's not a well reimbursed job and senior faculty may not want it. I imagine there are other times leadership may prefer a different or junior director who won't push back on things that effect fellows education. I've got no idea though what's going on at JHU.
It’s in NYC, a city disproportionately affected economically by the exodus of residents and business shutdowns in Manhattan specifically, during a pandemic that will end in 2022. The procedure numbers are down and will be down for the foreseeable future, and this isn’t unique to NYU, it applies to all the NYC programs.
Nothing is back to normal in NYC. The city is less safe and procedure volumes are down, and are continuing to remain low because of the exodus of population from manhattan in particular. The vacancy rate for Manhattan apartments is 3 times what it was last year
Who said this? Jerry Seinfeld said NYC will be back. Thats the only “who” that I can think of off the top of my head at this moment. And then paparrazzi caught Seinfeld himself hiding his sorry ass out in the Hamptons. LOL. What a joke. And yes I’m a current fellow in NYC
Have you been to NYC recently?
75% or so.
What program is this? Sounds like somewhere that is NOT manhattan or brooklyn. Lol
These two things are not mutually exclusive. Nice try though
Not trying to "Catch" anyone, just trying to get clarification, especially since your view on NYC training seems to contradict others.
LMAO, nice try.
There is still a grain of truth to this. NYC still isnt 100%, but keep in mind that NYC has been through the first wave whereas the rest of the country is gonna be balls deep in it. Volume will decrease in the rest of the country this coming year.
Im serious though. I know for a fact that Pain in the Bronx at Montefiore wasn’t hit nearly as hard as Manhattan
I really liked them! They seemed very interested in your education and have a very organized didactics. Good peds experience one of they faculty is peds pain trained. From what i got out of it, you will get a good training.
