Hello everyone; this thread is about Match Day for the Class of 2025. Congratulations!

I'm not sure what I would choose from that list. I suppose there are Detroit programs on there that historically were strong, but is the fact they scrambled an indicator that there is something very problematic about them now.

It seems UT RGVs podiatry residency is up and running. I'm somewhat blown away that a brand new program would be approved for 4 residents. That's a big commitment of resident surgical needs to fill.

I was personally shocked about HCA Westside and Aventura. Especially Aventura, I thought that program was historically pretty competitive.
 
Have heard very good things about Trinity in Livonia. Believe it is one of the better Detroit programs.

You'd be surprised. Those programs are nearly always far less competitive than they should be in terms of quality of cases/training.
It has been that way for years. I had no problem telling my classmates after I finished clerkships and decided I was going there. I was letting them know I wasn't their competition (many of them were competing hard for mediocre Fla and TX programs... one matched PI in Atlanta).

I think the good Detroit and Cincy/KY programs are some of the most under-the-radar training programs in podiatry: good training, good volume, not super-competitive most years due to the location. They simply won't draw the app numbers that other more popular cities and programs close to pod schools do, and even if they do, there are many Detroit programs/spots to fill.

Yeah, that is crazy they were instantly approved to take that many spots. Get ready for even pus jobs and non-surgical pod jobs to get competitive soon? 🤣

They will probably scramble every year... even the program director is not RRA cert. That's pretty unheard of these days. Their only hope at filling is probably if the new pod school rapidly expands class sizes?
 
The wait is absolutely killing me

Programs applied: 5

Programs interviewed: 5

Programs ranked: 5

Matched!

🤞🏽hopefully my number one
 
Any good pgy1 positions left in the open residency spots? Or anyone willing to trade a pgy2 spot for a new england spot?
 
Until there is a residency shortage, every pod school will have "100% match rate" now that the scramble is considered an extension part of the match ("match part 2"). The first-part match rates (main match) aren't 100% except at perhaps the smaller class newer schools... and still only in some rare years.

Any pod school can give students what they need if they apply themselves.
The libraries all have the same books, journals. It's mainly about putting in the time.

Congrats to all who got a good program they like. 👍

Given the current political climate and the subpar training, I'm unsure why anyone would choose a VA for residency.
It's good to see the empty spots!

Good god you guys are such a broken record on this, give it a rest already. This wasn’t what this post asked, there are others where you can go hate on VA.

Insult a mod on the forum... awesome way to make your new user impression felt?? 😉

She was giving good advice. Most of the scramble programs are VAs (as usual).... and right now, those have serious question marks for everything from staffing to funding to even residency/program security right now. This is no secret to anyone.

It's good if you like your VA job or your VA training and think there's a lot of RRA cases or whatever, but most are not that way.

Oh sorry- didn’t realize that was an insult, or that they bothered you guys from what I’ve been seeing. Guess I misread the room. Yes, new user profile but I’ve been reading this rhetoric for many years, in practice likely as long as you. It gets old.

Is it wrong?

Seriously? If I didn’t think it was wrong I wouldn’t bother to comment. I would give a gold star to any one of these folks that have set foot in any VA within past 10 years, two stars if they trained or worked there. Seems to be many mid career pods still giving up opinions as facts even though most are not affiliated with schools or residency programs. If they are a CPME evaluator, ok. If not, clueless as to why they care if students are interested in VA or not. So many worse choices out there that could be made.

Actually, a lot of the VAs on the list hadn't scrambled in quite some time. Southeast ones are usually quite popular, great locations too. Some confusing EOs came out right between CRIP and the match list being due, I'll give you that. Political climate, sure, probably why that happened. Subpar training? Not at all. Just like how most were NOT created as filler programs. You and the mod should both do some fact checking before speaking. It's what a good mensch would do, after all.
 
I don't have the time to do this for all programs, but the below is the last 3 years scrambles with only VA programs. The only VA program to scramble 3 years in a row is Dayton. There are 3 programs that scrambled in 2024 and 2025 though one might be shutting down(? - could have sworn one of the Arizona programs is no longer taking residents). If you had asked me before making this "do the same VA programs scramble every year" I would have said yes, but it was less consistent than I thought.'

It would be interesting to see a charting of all scramble programs year after year to see who is the most consistent.

Thread 'Match Day 2023'

This thread is about Match Day for the Class of 2023. I know it is a little early, but I thought of making the thread since the CASPR/CRIP interviews will be live in Texas this year (from Jan 12-17). You will receive interview invites from your selected programs in the coming weeks. I hope students participating in the live interview process will return here and post their experiences (social vs. a case workup).

As we move forward to the rankings and match day in March of 2023, I hope to follow the simial format to last year's. Good luck to everyone applying, and please...
