Are these the obit two you ranking ?
Also do you have any family or ties to any of the regions ?

both programs have their Strengths but it all comes down to you.

how do you rank them.

Thanks for your reply. These are the two strong programs on my list. No geographic preference. Any feedback would be really appreciated

What are you looking for? I think Arkansas program has more stuff (livers, advanced, etc) but what is your goal? You’d probably be equally hireable for most jobs graduating from either.
 
Do fast track Research internal candidates go on a T32 as fellows or do they typically use a clinical slot with their own funding?
 
I know programs recently had to update their quotas, is there anyway to see if programs we are ranking increased the amount of fellow spots?

Can you elaborate what you mean by this? Why would they be forced to increase the number of fellows to take? I haven't heard anything about this.
 
How would you rank rush, uic, loyola, iowa, Georgetown, VCU?

Asking for the friend of a friend.

Thank you for your reply. Which one has better reputation
Click to expand...

I don’t think anyone in the world has ever sat down to compare the two in order to rank them based on reputation. Once you are out of the top 20, I think reputation is grouped based on resources offered.

Within Chicago, Loyola (good overall experience but, lots of bleeder experience, call is rough, good LVAD, nutrition exposure, liver v strong they gutted UIC's liver division)>>UIC>Rush (not super familiar with the division but this is what I heard from mentors). UIowa probably the most 'prestigious' of the group but location, location, VCU pretty strong overall especially if aiming for liver long-term. Georgetown has been discussed above but probably similar to Loyola.
 
Hoping to shed some light in NE programs- anyone have any insight on Jefferson vs Temple vs Cooper vs Hershey vs Penn? Hoping to go into private practice and would want to move to Philly area.
 
Hoping for some thoughts on Med college of Wisconsin, uw-Madison, Henry ford, rush, Loyola, and case western? My plan is to be general GI initially in academics but may end up private in 5-10 years.

I would say:

MCW - Uni of W - Henry Ford - (dont know about Case Western but name is known) - Loyola - then Rush.

MCW-RUSh-Case won’t go beyond this on your rank order list.
Rush is a super strong program.

Temple-Hershey-Penn-Cooper

Temple is super strong
Hershey also strong

Just curious if anyone had opinions on Kaiser SF GI fellowship program? I know the program is very young. Does this close doors in terms of potential jobs after fellowship. For example, you most likely will only be hired by Kaiser in the future?

How does Kaiser LA compare to other programs in SoCal?

bump. Seeing if anyone had a comment here?

Only thing I'd add is that I think Henry Ford is a fantastic fellowship. Well rounded, lots of advanced and transplant with a reasonable amount of IBD. Fellows seemed happy too. Its not U of M but easily the second best in Michigan.

Upenn and jeff’s mission statements say they are trying to produce academic subspecialists

Not sure if this is accurate...

I've heard not great things about Rush's program. But I suppose that may be hearsay.
Click to expand...

what have you heard. I know two people in the program as of now. So please tell me and I can confirm if what you heard is correct or not.
 
Certainly depends on the program, but how common are calls from PD post interview?

Anyone have thoughts on Monte (main) vs Northwell (main) vs MSBI? Seem fairly similar and clinical with more research at Northwell, but didn't know general perception of each
 
Monte main is super busy. MSBI have been cutting down on volume, thats something to consider. Northwell LIJ has good reputation in clinical care and should get good breadth of training
 
Sorry this is such a generic question, but I'm just curious do most people get a positive reply when you send #1 email to them?

good luck to everyone!

I didn’t get a reply at all. But this was the same for residency and I matched at my #1 then so hoping for a repeat.

I got a positive reply, but it was vague. I think it's really rare for them to actually give you helpful information ("you are ranked to match" etc).

All rank lists are long done. Whether you get a reply is based on the PD being in a good mood and up to date on replying emails. When they answer they will say something positive but may not even remember exactly who you are. This is what I’ve been told.

programs don’t burn bridges. We are a small community. You will see each other at some point in a year at some conference or meeting.

so Those replies are not dependable or favorable. Unless they call you and tell you we will see you there. There like 0.5% chance happening.
 
You should not burn bridges either. Everyone will see everyone at the ACG, AASLD, local IBD schools, ASGE, ANMS or DDW meetings
 
Help please with ranking those 4 programs: (Reputation and training wise)
CCF Florida
Uni of Nebraska
Uni of Iowa
Medical College of Wisconsin

you got it nice. Certify.
 
If you look up programs now on the NRMP site, it shows a program quota. Is this equal to number of spots available because for a few of the programs, it doesn’t align with what they mentioned during the interview day. Does this mean they took people outside of the Match?

Because I keep hearing Rush doing this.
 
hopefulpoopdoctor said:
Rush appears to be listing what we were told, but there are others who are listing more research spots and less clinical spots or just fewer clinical spots than expected.
Click to expand...

also if this is like more>> 3 or 4 programs we need to contact NRMP
 
Who is all excited about next week ?
