I feel sorry for the dude having to announce matching IM at Wright State University on Match Day.
 
Why? For all anyone knows that could be their first choice.

BC everyone else is going to Harvard league programs and he is doing a IMG filled community program in a middle of nowhere undesirable location.

Imagine on Match day:

Harvard...Yale...Emory...UAB...UCSF....wright state university

Yeah and if that's their 1st choice I'm sure they are feeling much better than the UCSF match who ranked it 4th behind brigham women's, hopkins and penn.

Not everyone has sights on academic medicine..Also, there are many factors that go into the match. What if that's closest to family? Maybe the person has a sick parent? Maybe their loved one is in the area? Or maybe they didn't do well on Step...ultimately, nobody knows except for that person.

I dont know why you have difficulty with the concept that people have different priorities in life. If wright state has the best hours and is close to family who you would like your kids to see often. Wright state becomes a top choice.

Unlike most other specialties - pedigree of your training institution matters a ton for IM. Vast majority of IM residents actually hate general IM and desires specialization. You absolutely need to match at at least a mid-tier academic IM program to have a decent chance of obtaining fellowship. Community residency like WSU = your career is finished. General IM is not really practicing medicine, but rather a role of a healthcare coordinator/social worker.

not everyone wants to subspecialize and some people may prefer that role.

I understand that you might find is unfathomable being an IMG that some AMGs actually want to be primary care doctors or IM doctors and would rather train and practice close to family, but it is the reality. My school had an AOA member with a 250+ step go into primary care at a non big name institution close to his family.

If one prefers to do general IM - then why even go to medical school? You dont need 4 years of med school + 3 years of residency to be a healthcare coordinator / social worker. Vast majority of IM generalist hate their jobs and is trapped bc there is no way out due to debt and not being able to specialize. Some escapes to ED in small rural communities...but still overall miserable.

I dont know how old you are, but there are plenty of people that go into IM because they want to, different people have different priorities. the pay is good, the lifestyle is decent. Social workers are not making 200k+ per year.
 
And where did you match?

A mid-tier academic IM program in the south with excellent fellowship placement. Not ivy-league level but I was realistic about my chances given my mediocre grades + mediocre board score + no research + no SubI. I did not apply or rank any community IM programs - rather go unmatched without a job than ruin my career going into a community training program.

How is being the primary provider of an inpatient ward with 20+ census, non-stop admits from ER, and billion tasks to do on EMR + 100s notes to write a good lifestyle? Also since when is 200K a good pay for doctor? This is horrible pay for such a bad lifestyle.

I envy the psychiatrist - very specialized care, focused documentation, and laid back day to day tasks.

Dude, we get it, you really hate Wright State. Please stop projecting your massive inferiority complex on the rest of this board. Big name isn't the most important thing to all people at all times.

Also, in regards to the above, it is clear you have zero idea of what attending IM hospitalists do, and how much they get paid, LOL. You do know they're 7 days on, 7 days off right?

You can't have 100s of notes per day if you only got 20 on your census. Maybe 40-50 tops assuming big discharge day and full re-admission day.

This conversation will likely go nowhere. I am going to end with some repeated information...I know it is difficult for you to believe, but not everyone wants to specialize.....and I say this, as someone who intends to specialize.

1. There is no such thing as a "Harvard League." I assume you mean Ivy League.
2. Looking at the IM matches, and excluding the individual who matched at Wright State, 25/32 (almost 80%) of the applicants did not match at Ivy League institutions. So, in fact, very few are going to Ivy League programs.
 
People also need to remember that we're not 16 year olds comparing colleges anymore. The institutional name is often quite far removed from the things that truly matter for your residency training (i.e. mentors who share your interests, variety/volume of cases seen, practice settings, culture of the program, etc).

Besides, even when discussing so called "prestige," there can be a tremendous amount of variation between specialties within the same hospital system. The "top programs" for Orthopedic Surgery are going to be different from the "top programs" in Psychiatry, Pediatrics, Urology, etc.

False, most fellowships are not very competitive, and many people from top schools with all options open go into PC tracks. You need to match at a prestigious place if you also want to go to a prestigious fellowship, but many people have had enough prestige in their life and are ready to move on to other priorities due to new life obligations (fiance, starting family, taking care of parents etc).

Also, Wright State's most recent fellowship match included: x4 cards, x3 GI, x2 heme/onc, x2 pulm, and consider that they're a smaller program vs most academic IM (total program size: 80).

I was reading thru his thread while researching Emory for my upcoming application. It pains me to see this knowing how many applicants out there want to be physicans to truly serve others and can’t get in! I find your comments pompous and arrogant. You obviously don’t care about service only status! I find that very sad and I feel sorry for the patients you will “serve” one day because you clearly will always prioritize your own needs over theirs! I hope Emory does a better job selecting applicants that will be true to the Hippocratic Oath over the Almoght Dollar in future cycles!

Well said well said! Thank you. I was disheartened by this thread and had to comment ! Thank you for your compassionate and service-centric reply. You are a credit to whatever school your attend!
