No - next year's PGY-1 class will be the last categorical class at Lutheran. That class will only have 7 spots and will be integrated into the NYU School of Medicine categorical program. You won't be a "primary care track" resident if you apply for the upcoming year (2017-2018).so, in essence, will you be a NYU Primary Care track resident graduating with a NYU categorical track diploma while using NYU Lutheran as your primary clinical site?
That's actually a good idea (having it in writing)...I'll look into it. Thanks!
Good to know, thank you.
I can't comment on the specifics of the NYU prelim assignments to Lutheran, and it's been a few years since I rotated there as a student. But, the patients are sick and largely non-English speaking (as a first language anyway...their English was way better than my Spanish/Russian/Tagalog/Cantonese/Arabic/Creole/etc though, so that's really on me). Support staff is typical NYC hospital (i.e. at best, they won't interfere with patient care).
Do you still respond to this thread?
Thanks! Much appreciated. Any chance you know where I could find the ferry schedule/who I could contact for it? Sorry for all the questions!
If I understand that map correctly this thing stops half a dozen times on both sides of the river. That's gotta take like an hour and a half each way.
no (updated in 2020)
Would love to hear your honest impression! Thanks for all your posts. I think if anything they probably gave some people energy.
Or maybe because they are discriminating? Kinda ****ty to do that, don’t you think?
They are a top program...they are able to be selective about the applicants they take...there are MD students that don’t ask to interview...
Until this last year , it was an allopathic match for an allopathic residency spot...why would they not consider an allopathic student above an osteopathic student?
sorry I stand by what I said. No, DOs aren't a protected class. But discrimination is discrimination dude. We have enough of it in medicine..and I don't think discriminating against DOs isn't helping provide good patient care.
This is not entirely true. Not all of the IM class is from top MD schools. I think this whole excuse of having too many applicants is a cop out. No offense. And DOs are not the same as FMGs or Caribbean grads. Why is it so hard for you to own to the fact that they are extremely discriminatory in their selection? Who are they missing out on by screening out all DOs?
No...it wasn't. NYU also has programs out in Brooklyn that took DOs. Now those have gone entirely MD. I am not asking for them to consider one group over another like they are right now. I am asking that they don't screen out DOs. People have been saying for years..."if only DOs took the USMLE and killed it." "If only DOs did research and killed it". Well, we have DOs that do that and would not even stand getting a chance at an interview at NYU.
I think it is also scary that you are physician (as indicated by your badge on your profile) and you think it is ok to discriminate against DOs for residency. Hope you work in a place that doesn't have an DO physicians. Im sure they would be less than impressed by your lack of advocacy for your fellow physicians.
Please ...DOs want to think that they thought of in the same level as the allopathic MD student, but you are closer in regard to the Caribbean grad...we all share a stigma of some sort...there will be programs that prefer DO over F/IMGs and others that do the opposite, but they all will prefer a USMD...will they look at the exceptional student?...sure, but make no mistake, they will rank the USMD over the others.
