Temple and UMDNJ Feedback

[IMapp2011]

Today, I received an interview invitation from a good school in the New York area. I need to cancel one interview (either Temple, UMDNJ-Camden, or UMDNJ-RWJ) in order to accomodate this new interview. Can anyone please give me advice on which interview to cancel? I heard that Temple is not in the best area, but is it a good internal medicine program with good fellowship placement/EMR/a good hospital? Is one of the UMDNJ programs better than the other?

Camden is basically a community program in a horrible location. RWJ is a solid (but small) academic program with research opportunities. Temple is a hardcore "county" academic program in a crappy neighborhood with great pathology.

Cancel Camden.

Agree completely.

I concur, cancel UMDNJ Camden. Horrible area, one of the most dangerous in the US in fact!

Camden without a doubt. RWJ is a good program near New York City. Temple is one in Philadelphia at least.

By the time you graduate residency, you would have a diploma from "Cooper Hospital at Rowan University." It will be an entirely separate institution from UMDNJ, but will now be 100% linked to a medical school that will be just across the street from the hospital. I believe the first class will enter in 2012.
