Albert Einstein?

Members don't see this ad.

Does anybody know if they've completed their rank list yet? (it's almost a month since they finished interviewing).

AE interviewed last Wednesday and have an additional date this Wednesday. I think the dates listed on this site were incorrect - I think there were actually 4 interview days - 2 in December and 2 in January.

That's a bit strange - we were told they were interviewing 16 applicants for 1 spot. Any updates?

According to NRMP, they have 2 spots.

That's strange ... I heard 25 or so for 2 spots.

They have two spots, but they take one of them outside of the match. It has already been filled as far as I know. It is a really great program. Everyone gets along very well, research is very strong, and there is a plethora of good cases. Good luck to anyone going for that spot.

I am critical of programs that take residents outside of the match before the match occurs. While it is legal, this behavior violates the spirit of the match. It is unfair to applicants and demonstrates a real distain for the process.

I hope that someone says something to the residency program director at Albert Einstein.

The NRMP site lists Einstein as "Programs Accept Shared Pairs" as follows:

3172430A0 Einstein/Jacobi Med Ctr-NY BRONX Radiation Oncology

I am unclear on what does this mean? Is it in regard to 😛 couples 😛 match or what? Or is in reference to outside-the-match offer capabilty?

For completeness 😳 , here's the other 2006 NRMP programs that are listed as "Programs Accept Shared Pairs" as follows:

I believe a shared pair means you double the time you are in residency but only have to work half-time throughout. In other words, two people share one residency position. At least that's how a girl in my class who is applying for one in FP explained it to me.

 

[radonc777]

I appreciate 😀 your response, one_notch_down, and now the Einstein Rad Onc description of Shared Pair (meaning 2 people share a residency spot) makes more sense. 🙂

Alas, we are still in the dark as to how that rad onc program participates in and/or abides by the the Match.

Dear Program Director at Albert Einstein:

You GO GUY! More power to you.



I beg to differ. It is imminently fair to an applicant and a program who both know that they would like to work with each other, are able to negotiate appropriate and mutually acceptableworking conditions. It is fundamental to our understanding of commerce and the operation of the marketplace.

The match is not.

The match system is probably one of the most regressive systems of applicant selection imaginable. It violates the quintessence of our fundamental economic principles.

It is a way for hospitals to select who they want, at rock bottom costs and applicants have absolutely no say, once the crank is turned, even if programs change all the terms once the match is complete.

It took sneaky sub rosa legislation to exempt it, retroactively, from the Antitrust Laws that have helped make our nation great, and I believe that medicine and society is poorer for it.

If the process is bad, then disdain for it is approrpiate.

With all due respect to the previous post ...

I disapprove of the match system and largely agree with your criticism. Yes, it is unfair to applicants.

I agree that, in the ideal world, every applicant and program should independently negotiate contracts.

However, the behavior of Albert Einstein represents a disregard for applicants, not a protest. If the Program Director spoke out against the match, more power to him. This is not what happened. Instead, the program demonstrated disregard for applicants that expected more positions to exist and spent time/money to interview.

I would have no problem with Albert Einstein freely negotiating contracts if it stated that it would explicitly do so beforehand and applicants could adjust their behavior.

The program and applicant could have ranked each other number one and there would be no issue.

 

[DoctorKnows]

2 spots for 2007; both within the match.
35 applicants interviewed.
Possibility of a 2006 spot outside match.

 

[deleted4401]

DoctorKnows is correct ... Just got an e-mail from the PD with that same information. Where is this other rumor starting from?
