Does anyone know of a website that has updated residency reviews? I have looked on scutwork but many of the programs that I have interviewed at have reviews from 3-4 years ago, which are not currently reflective of the practices of those residency programs. Thanks!

Wha? I can't envision a planet on which this statement makes sense.
Sorry what i meant to say that on the above mentioned link there are only 1 or 2
hospital interview reviews. Hope this will clear up confusion.
Huh? 😕
If you are referring to the SDN link I provided, there are hundreds of reviews, 208 in anesthesiology alone. I'd like to see users utilize it more, so it could be an even better resource.
I was looking at IM which is somewhat most popular speciality here. Number of posts here and reviews don't match up. May be it should be sticky at the top of either residency issue forum or at the top respective forum that way most people will remember to post their reviews.
There are 57 IM reviews, which while not a ton, is more than 1 or 2.
That's not a bad idea. Its frustrating to hear people complain about the lack of residency review sites but refuse to post reviews here on SDN.
I don't know why I am getting into this discussion. May be I should re read my posts before submitting them. I don't know whether you realized or not, when I said 1 or 2, I meant 1 or 2 reviews per hospital and no all all hospitals/residency programs are listed there.
Thanks for the clarification. I assumed you meant that there were only 1 or 2 reviews total.
And you're right, not all programs are on there because users have not listed all of them for review. The database is only as good as the users contribute to it.
Thank you. I hope others will follow your lead. The database is anonymous and you can put in as much or as little as you like in reviewing a program.
As always, if there are reasons other than disinterest in helping others why students and residents aren't reviewing their programs, please let us know by posting in the Site Suggestions forums. We want to make the database user friendly and a good resource for everyone.
I was actually hoping for resident reviews at the current programs. I don't feel like I get a lot of useful information from other interviewees. They get the same information presented to them that I do during their interview day.
Well, there is nothing stopping current residents from evaluating their own program; one would simply leave the stuff blank about travel costs, etc. Apparently that isn't clear given the title. I'll make a suggestion that we broaden the definition.
