Hi,
I'm a 3rd year student and I plan to do my 4th year SubI at Macomb-Oakland Hospital (endocrinology, infectious disease or emergency medicine). Your post about Macomb raises a red flag. Did you hear anything about it since this post a year ago? I'd love to hear your updates. Thank you!

Fellow applicant. Did not like Cornell much (I am not a big fan of any of the NYC programs or the city itself). On the other hand, loved Vanderbilt/Nashville). That being said, I think they are pretty equal when it comes to cards fellowship opportunities.
Hey guys!
I was hoping for your $0.02 on the Providence Portland Medical center IM Residency.
I liked what i saw on the interview day but I'm a bit concerned about wether it would be a deadend if i'm interested in doing a fellowship in a competitive fellowship like Cards.
Also, the program seemed busier than the average community program.
Thanks in advance!

It is one of more well known straight up community spots, but anyone of us would be lying to you if we said it's going to be much harder to land a cards spot there. Tough decisions.
How does UConn compare to University of Arizona as far as IM training, and national reputation is concerned?
UConn has better fellowship match. This year they matched GI at Mayo, Hem/Onc at Mofitt, BIDMC among others.

Need some help deciding between OHSU and Baylor.
I think from some of the responses to my previous post, OHSU > Baylor in a strict academic reputation sense. However, 1) I really can't see myself staying in Portland after residency and I know OHSU matches mostly in-house for fellowships, and 2) Coming from a big city and being single, I feel like I'd be a bit more happy in Houston than Portland.
Is the reputation difference between those two programs really that significant, or are they more or less similar enough that I should just go with Baylor over OHSU?

I would put Baylor a bit above OHSU, but it's not a huge difference either way and would mostly depend on your specific interests. About being single, though, I wouldn't worry about the city. People partner with other people around them. The majority of the other people around you will be at the hospital, or friends of friends via the hospital if the city is new to you. Houston is bigger, but whether it would be better for your non-hospital-centric dating prospects would also depend on your hobbies and interests.
With respect to your fellow residents, my personal impression of each was that Baylor had a more prominent married with children contingent than OHSU, but I couldn't put numbers on it. I don't remember whether either of those were programs that gave out the contact sheets with current residents to contact for information about a particular hobby or walk of life, but that might be a good thing to look into.

I think they're pretty equivalent. To answer your other questions, many people match in house because they want to stay in Portland and there aren't any other options besides OHSU. Everybody I've know who has wanted to leave has matched very well at other places.
And how small do you think Portland is? I mean, there aren't 2 million people here like Houston (thank Buddha) but you have to try really hard to be bored and not meet people. I moved here from NYC and couldn't be happier.

I live in Houston. It's awesome. Lots of young professionals here, many singles as well. Great night life if you're into that. Never been to Portland so can't comment on it.
Does anyone have an updated resident salary schedule from UNC? The website info says last updated 2011, and I can't seem to find where they listed it anywhere.
NOT that this is my only criteria, but if if the salary really is that low, but it could be a differentiating factor to me, all other things being equal.

Is the updated information on that CD/flash drive they gave out?
I'm not categorical, so I didn't get the CD/Flash drive.
Anyone know much about univ utah or UT houston? Id assume that academically and fellowship wise (interested in heme onc possibly) that utah is the better program, but I have some concerns about living in utah more so then issues with the program (love the program). While I would love to live in houston, and my interview day i felt was great. I had some concerns about resident happiness/treatment and the ward schedule as the few UT houston students ive talked too didnt have glowing things to say about doing IM there...
Rank Utah higher.

I've done several rotations at Cook County including medicine, cards, medicine sub-i. The pathology is extremely diverse, from run of the mill stuff to stuff you don't see too often, saw someone with tuberous sclerosis. I found the residents knowledgeable as well as the attendings. Most of the attendings were pretty interested in teaching. The biggest issue I encountered at County was everything was so slow and antiquated. Want to know if/when your patient is getting a cath? Go downstairs to the cath lab. You can try calling, but it's usually futile. Sometimes computers are at a premium, and the nurses will lock the ones by the patient rooms so that only they can log on or you have to turn it off and turn it back on, which takes time. Want an MRI? Again, have to go down to the basement and talk to the radiologist for approval.
In summary, County will prepare you for whatever your career goals are, but there are a lot of inefficiencies that make your day more difficult for no reason. It does have a fair amount of in-house fellowships, and cards took several of their own.

According to the CD they provided, the PGY-1 salary listed is $46,984. PGY-2 is $48,622. It does state the new salary for this year won't be known until May/June. I'd expect it to go up at least $1,000 this year. That seems to be the trend in other programs.

Can anyone provide any insight into Columbia vs. Yale vs. Northwestern vs. UCLA for someone interested in heme/onc?
UTSW > Baylor
Rigor, name, and fellowship placement.
None of these places are going to hurt you. Prestige wise, Columbia >UCLA>Northwestern=Yale

Fellow applicant. I interviewed at the first 3 and ranking them in that order but not back to back or anything. I wish I applied to UCLA in hindsight, been hearing very positive things about it from everyone. Cumc seems to have a good h/o match from what I've seen on their match lists. They dont seem to have too many residents going for it tho. I feel like I might've ranked UCLA over Cumc if I interviewed there but thats all speculation. I think Cumc maybe the best in terms of quality of heme/onc match but they all seem to be pretty equivalent. Would prob go mainly by location.

I've heard quite a few people comment on Emory negatively regarding work hours and leadership. Would anybody care to comment on their experience with the program regarding rumors of malignancy, unhappiness, etc? Thanks for your help!

resident giving me tour was complaining the entire time. was not happy. was pissed off. during afternoon report (when we had lunch), the resident presenting the case kept getting ripped on by the attending "helping" and giving his expert opinion with the case. no other residents said a word. it was awkward.
lots of interim chairs (surgery, derm, family med, previously medicine now fillied, previously urology now filled). no bueno
oh also, the only people that showed up to talk to us while waiting for interviews were 2 chief residents and some guy who is doing med/psych. where were all the other residents? it's a big program...SOMEONE should have been able to make it who was doing categorical medicine. nope

annoyingly large program with many unhappy overworked residents. My buddy from med school is currently a PGY-3 and he is certainly not a big fan of the program and advises med students from my school to avoid ranking it high. It still has a good reputation especially in Cardiology and graduates usually have good fellowship placement.

Thanks for the replies! I have been having trouble with how to rank this program because it is easily accessible from my hometown and has a good reputation. However, I too felt a bit uneasy about it during my interview day. The four hospital system seemed a bit chaotic and I also didn't get the impression that people were very happy there. Commuting in Atlanta seems like a hassle.

Poor Emory. My interview day there was completely normal. No one seemed unhappy. I'm not sure what the leadership questions are about, nor did I see any hints of malignancy. And why would more than a couple chiefs be in the holding tank with the rest of the applicants? The room was packed, and there was no need for any more people to ask us if we had questions.
I think malignancy is very much in the eye of the beholder. Who knows what else is going on with a resident who's airing a laundry list of complaints? Could be generally disgruntled; could be in a bad mood; could actually be completely miserable because of the program he's in. There's no way to know based on a 30-minute encounter. And who learns by getting a pat on the head for being wrong? Criticism is part of getting better. When it's spoken directly, it can come off as abrasive. It doesn't mean the criticizer is out to get you.

I agree. I had a good dinner, interview day, and interviews. There were several interns in the interview staging area. The residents I know there are happy with their decision, and the fellowship match is good to great. They say that their PD isn't as outwardly charismatic, but that he goes to bat for them whenever necessary. A few people have been posting negative things about them across several threads, but I think the facts remain the same: a rigorous program with excellent clinical training and fellowship placement.

it's had a malignant reputation for at least 20 yrs....several of my attendings interviewed for jobs there and got the same feel within the past 20 years. some things just don't change. all the interim chairs = leadership crisis. i heard this from an emory surgeon fwiw.
and i'm not talking about criticism with regards to the malignant atmosphere. he was getting RIPPED on by the attending. in front of everyone. getting laughed at, made example of, utterly embarrassed....not one resident said a word the entire session. the applicants were speaking instead because it was so awkward. that's not the same as constructive criticism. we all know what THAT is.
i'm not denying that it is a program that you will come out of clinically competent, i'm just saying you might not be the most happy here. my n=1 /
I know nothing about Emory's program, but I am a little wary anytime a resident feels the need to say that the PD "goes to bat" for them. To me, it implies that there is a need for someone to "go to bat", which implies that things might not be so smooth sailing in the first place. I think of it as a schoolyard analogy: if I'm being bullied, my best friend is (hopefully) there to stick up for me, but at the end of the day, I'm still getting bullied.

My med school is not malignant by any stretch, but administrative and life **** still happen, because they're inevitable. When they happen, it's nice to have an advocate who can cut through the red tape, or at least guide you through. "Going to bat" doesn't have to indicate that anyone is being bullied. When I was making my rank list, the difference between #1 and #2, among other ranks, was whether I thought the PD and others there would advocate for me in a time of need.

Wow, SDN is rated G...I'd never noticed. F@ck the filters.
I wasn't saying it's not good to have people on your side. My point was more that if a resident feels the need to use that expression (without being asked), it's a bit of a red flag for me. I interviewed at a ton of places and the ones I ranked highest were based largely on whether or not the PDs were supportive of residents. At those places, no one has to be explicit about it, because it comes out through example. The places where the residents used the "go to bat" expression were the same ones where it really seemed like there was a regular need for that, and not in a "cutting through red tape" kind of way.

i felt the same way. my view of emory though is inbetween. Luved the residents though.
Although we dont have a ICU fellowship our critical care physicians are very invested in our education. We have ICU months as interns and PGY 2 and PGY 3 years. Due to only occasional fellows from the navy rotating with us we are always the first to do procedures. Since i've been there 3 residents were interested in pulm/critical care and they matched at UCSD, USC and Loma Linda.
I am a recent graduate of Scripps Green, and like many of the posts here I did not know much about the program until I did a rotation in cardiology as a medical student. I am very happy I picked Scripps Green as my residency program so I wanted to provide some more details for those interested! Scripps Green is located in La Jolla, CA. and is a moderate sized program. We have fellowships in Cardiology, Heme/Onc, GI, Rheum, Endocrine, Allergy, Interv. Cards, Derm Mohs, and we have an excellent match rate for residents interested in fellowships. There are so many different values we all have in picking a program so I have listed some of the highlights of our's! Hope this helps.
Research: We have an awesome research curriculum and time in our PGY 2 and 3 years to take research electives. Our associate program director is very helpful in assisting us in creating project ideas and subspecialits are always looking for residents to join their research projects. We have a statician that helps us all with our projects and are able to present posters for conferences easily. Our posters are also designed by a Scripps Graphic artics and regional and national meeting attendance is fully funded by the program.
Ambulatory Clinic: is a unique one block rotation in PGY 2 and PGY 3 where you design your individual 1/2 sessions in areas you need more exposure; i.e echocardiogram, rad/onc, derm, transplant medicine,Leprosy clinic, Hempath etc.
St. Vincent and St. Leo's clinic: our 2nd and 3rd year residents provide free medical care to communities in downton San Diego and Solona beach year round.
Global Health Electives: Loloma Foundation has been very gracious in allowing our residents to rotate with them in Fiji islands; I personally did this rotation and loved it! Other ones available include Native American Health Service for Navajo Indians in Kayenta, Arizona and Crow Reservation.
Tremendous attending participation with daily didactic sessions run by Attendings and chief residents

When are IM programs changing to milestone evaluations? (I'm sure I can look it up) Are they being implemented at the same time across the board, or are some programs early adopters?
And, when is the match this year? (Again, don't need the reminder that google is my friend)
And, when is the match this year? (Again, don't need the reminder that google is my friend)
To balance this out: Scripps Green is one of the better community programs out there (in the same ballpark as Cedars-Sinai or CPMC). In Southern California, the PDs at your fellowship of interest are likely to be aware of this. Scripps Green also offers a good lifestyle.
However it is not comparable to a good university program, and as such your ability to match nationally will be significantly impacted.
