Curious to which programs went unfilled this year. SOAP period should be over, so posting shouldn't be a match violation.

Most of the programs that always had a ton of spots unfilled, like Rush, Wayne State and LSU Shreveport, all filled completely. If I remember right, Yale had four spots, Sunrise Health in Vegas 2-3, Buffalo 3-5, Toledo 1-2, Riverside University in California 1-2, St. Elizabeth in Massachusetts 1-2, and two programs in NYC that I don't remember the names of had 2-3. All the numbers of empty spots might be off. Someone who kept better records might have more information, or you can wait for NRMP to release the match results. The whole thing is a blur in my mind of anesthesiology programs and transitional years.
 
Brooklyn also had a few openings. I've heard Rush had a turnaround somewhere along the way.

NMRP released the data on the unfilled programs. USC has 1 unfilled spot , which is interesting b/c that's the 2nd year in a row they didn't fill.

can confirm that these sound mostly right. by the time i was actually motivated enough to check NRMP (may or may not have been after a round), all single digit numbers of spots available in like 5ish programs....ohio, massachusetts, connecticut and jersey-ish.
 
The one in Vegas didn't quite fill in SOAP, but filled the day after. I think all the rest of them filled in SOAP, mostly in the first round.
Thanks. Only asking because I matched at one of those unfilled programs
 
Heard from a friend today that Montefiore and Downstate didn't fill 6 spots, each. Not surprised at all by this.

Yale didn't fill 1 spot. USC didn't fill 1 spot. Buffalo also didn't fill 5 spots.

wow kind of surprising that yale and usc didnt fill. is there any way to see which programs have filled/didnt fill post soap?
 
Very happy to see Shreveport fill. Outside of the creepy paperwork they make you bring in, and the god awful hospital, I think it has what it needs to be a solid program. Liked the PD and and REALLY loved the aPD.

Apparently I'm the only one that liked Toledo. I had it ranked mid-low due to location, but thought that it had characteristics of a strong program. I spoke to two people that matched there and they are crushed. Then they didn't even fill. Crazy.
 
I ranked USC pretty high and didn’t get them. They didn’t even rank me? :(

It is way too easy to run people off the wrong way in this process, people are too paranoid/judgmental. I asked an intern if she was/went to school in the us. The tone of her response would make you think I asked her if she was ******ed.:shrug:

I thought it's not uncommon for Yale.. not the best program I hear

I'm not sure why Yale Anesthesiology has a negative reputation. Location is a down-side, but otherwise I thought the program was fine. Solid upper middle tier program, on par with places like Sinai, Beth Israel Deaconess, NYU, UVA, or Cleveland Clinic.

Put LSU Shreveport anywhere else and I may have ranked it, I interviewed cause I was in TX already, but man...that town.

Everyone looks for different things. I’m at a small under the radar place and had ranked it very highly. Love it.

Life is busy as an intern but the fringe benefits make things a lot easier. Great people at every level and speciality in the hospital that you really get to know have made for a nice intern year.

In terms of case load i'm sure all the large hospitals are comparable. But when i went there, the residents did not seem happy, the interview day was god awfully boring. They spent so many hours talking about research it was insane. Plus like you said, location is not a plus.

Do you guys mind posting a link for the unfilled programs for 2018 match. I cant find it on NRMP website.
