This is a brilliant list. I would leave it as it is, maybe moving MacNeal to 5 but mostly based on location.
theres just alot of scut work and i heard its more difficult to get a fellowship
Basically you can’t rank the categorical programs.
Agree with rokshana. If you prematch a prelim, you should only submit a rank list of advanced programs.
Can you tell me which medical questions were asked? Was those out of context or specific to your US/other clinical experience?
I heard similar stuff. Thank you so much for your reply.
I had a similar experience but I am concerned about it being malignant and board pass rate was only 71%. What do you think about it?
Ohhh I didn't know this. I was going to ask somewhere what is their board passing rate. Has it been low consistently? What do you think?
That’s scary...if you get some difficult case
Does anyone know about Creighton University at Phoenix. I appreciate any information regarding the program, environment, training, ...
On my interview day i got the impression that there is little support for residents and they have to manage everything themselves. There might be a chance to match into fellowships since they have in-house ones but it's a cut-throat program I felt. ABIM shows their board pass rate from 2017-2019 has been 71% which is kind of confirming my thoughts of it being malignant.
I know a little about GBMC....
Some says balance is good...but i saw it written somewhere where someone said that admin tell residents to say that this is family friendly program😂 (otherwise they work a lot during those crisis)
it's kind but don't read into it.
Which was the program?
Do you know which university St.joseph is affiliated with? I can not find that information!!
Used to be seton hall...not sure if it’s still affiliated with them or nymc now
Thank you for so much information. This helped me a lot.
3 vs 4. I’ll say 4
Could you please have your say about the rest of the order as well? Thank you!
My knowelge is limited when it comes to programs, however from what I’ve heard from seniors , cook county and UMMC midtown are both good programs. Staten Island is also a good one . I used to live on Staten Island, interviewed there too. Wright i heard is a toxic program. The others i cant say in order of ranking.
Yale Bridgeport definitely based on the affiliation and the opportunities. The city might not be as exciting though.
I also have Jacobi and Eisenhower on my list, Jacobi has great fellowship match but also some scut work, like daily blood draws( they have a nurse for morning draws, rest of the day, if you order it, its upon you). The problem with Eisen is also theres not much diverse patient population if that matters to you. And I don’t see any problem with a program with so many DO students, in fact there’s a non-written rule that AMG don’t go to bad places!!
Can you tell me other non-clinical things that people consider as scut work that we do in Jacobi? Thanks
I don't have much idea but maybe ....
If you match into a prelim, you can apply the next year for Anesthesia R positions to start in 2022, or A positions to start in 2023. But when you will be finalizing and submitting your application (late Aug / early Sept) you'll have completed 2 months of IM residency. Getting a "good LOR" may be difficult at that point, likely your letter will say "tommy has started in our program and is doing as we would expect for an early intern" -- and that assumes that all goes well in your transition to the US.
Thank you. 80-90% of my ROL is categorical. Sounds like I should risk myself for a partial match than violation of the rules 🙁
Thank you!! Very helpful! this is so tricky.. omg
Another thing that I’ve heard from residents as non-clinical thing is that for your un-insured patients or homeless ones there are calls to make when you want to discharge them( probably regarding their after care). I don’t have further information regarding that!
You have really worked hard my friend, and for sure this one will pay off. You will successfully match this year. I have been following you since last year match and I have seen that you have double the number of interviews invite. Great job buddy.
