I've noticed that many internal candidates don't stay on at UCSF. Is there a reason for this? I think there's only 1 UCSF resident who did med school there of all 20+ residents which I find very odd. Is the culture malignant so internal folks don't want to stay for residency?
OR really wants to match there lmao
If you look at the list of residents you will see at least 3 internals. UCSF typically has very few internal applicants ranging from 1-3 per year. Therefore there is not a large pool of internal candidates typically. As I've met UCSF graduates on the trail now in derm residencies throughout the country they have told me that they left UCSF b/c they wanted to...for family, partners, cheaper rent, different scene, specific clinical/research interests. I didn't get the sense it was b/c they felt UCSF was malignant. x2
That is untrue. Who are the "at least 3 internals"? The website only has 1 resident listed from UCSF (Wesley Yu). This just strikes me as very odd especially since UCSF is considered the #1 program in the country.
UCSF is one of the most well rounded programs. I don't think the med students not staying on means anything. They only take very competitive folks, so maybe not everyone applying from UCSF is competitive enough.

Yeah that link above is to an article written by the current PD at UCSF.
That article is pure propaganda, like they are actually going to abandon step 1 and AOA
"Considered the #1 program in the country" by who? It's a top tier program, certainly, but what makes any program "#1"? | by Doximity
<--- First, completely untrue. Second, someone has a vendetta against UCSF.
