what is Dukes US NEws rank in patho?

I may be wrong, but I suspect not many here know and even fewer care.

Not being sarcastic, just reflective.

They filled. There are some who post on this board who applied and interviewed there.
I believe there is a review in the "Interview Experiences" thread.

I'm not aware of any ranking system for pathology programs...oh yeah, and I don't care either 😉

US News and World Report does not rank path - the rankings are based on clinical criteria. Here is the overall hospital list:

I agree with Andy - doesn't have much of a bearing on path residency training, though.

Duke was a #1 seed in basketball. Then they had to lose to Sparty! 😡

Its been a long day, I would completely heap a huge pile of manure on you, but Im tired.

Good night.

 

[yaah]

Rankings. 😡 😡 We need an angrier smilie.

And if such rankings did exist, they would matter how? Every program is different and every resident is different.

Whaddaya know, I read you guys right.

Salary, dermpath and ranking Q's 👎 👎

Dook has the biggest (I think) PA school in the US and (according to hearsay) you get the shaft as far as experience in grossing goes bec the PA-studs only leave like two specimens out for the surgpath resident to gross on.....completely inadequate if true. Also, I heard this 3d person, but apparently a graduate from Dook's path prog in the not-so-distant past actually went back to a different academic institution after entering private practice to bone up on, yes, grossing. I think UNC is generally considered to give a better education in path. Other than that I don't have much input. My wife and I both got interviews there this year and declined.

Also, US news rankings are a crock.

YOURE JOKING RIGHT? The shaft? So instead of concentrating on grossing in 5 uteri for fibroids, these residents actually read and learn real pathology. Yeah, place sounds like it sucks, avoid it like the plague!

This isnt medical school - you dont have to pretend to be interested in stuff you aint - i.e. GROSSING.

And if you have to gross as an attending you need a new job

 

[b&ierstiefel]

hehe...yeah i don't think i will miss all that grossing much after residency. as an attending, i would just want to do signouts.

 

[yaah]

After my PSF and a couple months on surg path here I feel basically completely comfortable with grossing most everything. I wouldn't complain if someone did them all for me by now.

Touche. My point was more with the sorta-recent grad who felt it was necessary to get additional training (this is gospel, and sad). I know of at least one group of 20+ private pathologists at a good group ($ all "name place" trained $) who do their a lot of their own grossing (bigs at least) and don't cry too much about it.

Also, I don't actually have anything against Duke. If you look at their numbers, they're obviously a good place to train, just not my bag.
