The Challenge - Can you handle it!

Members do not see this ad.

Okay guys, I know I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago, but this time I'm serious! Before we all forget the details of every place that we've interviewed, we need to fill out the Scutwork.com reviews about those programs.

Do you remember how little good info there was out there about all these programs? I do, and I've decided to make it different for the kids that come after me.

I interviewed at 11 places and have decided to fill out reviews on Scutwork.com for all the places I've interviewed! And I CHALLENGE YOU TO DO THE SAME!!!!

As of right now, I've done 3 reviews - so that puts me in the lead until someone shows me up!

Will you take the challenge? I hope so - - - you can really help all the applicants that come along behind us.

Scutwork.com

Best of Luck (trying to catch up!),

This is a great idea and invaluable database for future applicants! I encourage all of you who applied to submit interview reviews in addition to submitting your stats to be added to the SDN 2004 Match thread. 😉

Good job this year to those who matched. It was a very tough year.

YOU SO TOTALLY ROCK, DUDE! Gimme some noggin!

Long has there been a dearth of reviews for ophtho on scutwork. It is great to see some folks put them up there (I just saw the whole slew that went up tonight!)

Lots of us will find these very helpful, and are grateful to all the folks who answer his challenge.

(The above was a Finding Nemo reference, by the way; my kids' new favorite DVD).

Hey guys,

There are three new ophtho reviews posted on the internet today. Does anyone from the ophtho forum want to take credit for them?

The new reviews are for:

University of Colorado Program
University of Wisconsin Program

We're keeping score, and somebody is catching up!!!

Post that you completed a review if you did (you don't have to put which program it was for if you would rather remain more anonymous).

Good Luck!

You guys are doing a good job. I have noticed that the majority of new programs being reviewed on scutwork over the last few days have been optho programs.

 

[mjl34]

Hey,

Who wants to take credit for the Stanford review that was just posted on Scutwork?

Stark

😱

[Stark]

Okay, I'm all cashed out. I have gone through all of my notes and entered 10 reviews of the 11 programs that I interviewed at.

Well ladies and gentlemen,

Thanks to all of you who have submitted reviews for optho programs. I think we will definately help those kids who are applying for ophtho in the future.

I am all cashed out on programs to review, and will leave the rest up to you.

Signing off,

Stark

 

[Andrew_Doan]

Great job Stark!

I also encourage residents to submit reviews. This is a great opportunity to advertise your training program! 😉
