do derm programs forbid their residents from doing a residency at a TY? Is that a thing?
they frown upon it, but no they can't stop you
most derm programs don't even frown upon it. My T25 derm program actively encouraged me to do a TY.
I am sure you are at a good program, but there is no such thing as a T25 as there are no respected rankings that are so granular. There is the T5ish, then an additional 5-10 places that people call "T10" because they are just barely outside the t5, but people debate how they compare to one another. That's it, don't quantify. Congrats on the match! Sounds like an awesome program
Of course there are top ~25 programs, and I guarantee that the one I matched into is one of them, based on discussions with "T5" mentors and placement of residents who come from my new program.< someone salty they arent in a t25
Not salty at all. Matched a "T5 vs T10," I just think using these b.s. rankings outside of Penn, NYU, Harvard, UCSF is dumb
< lurking M3 here. Are NYU and UCSF actually better than Harvard and Stanford?
no. Any of these 4 as well as many more academic programs will set you up for any career you want. x2< I want to know which one of these has the best clinical training, or is Penn better than all 4?
splitting hairs< I would say NYU and UCSF are a tad strongger clinically because of the time spent at the VA and County hospitals = more autonomy but all will set you up nicely. Harvard doesn't have a real continuity clinic so docks some quality there but Stanford is the weakest of all 4.
M3, why don't you apply to them and see where (if any) you are offered interviews before splitting microscopic hairs. X2 There is no difference between these programs, and many more, in terms of what you can do after residency. None.
this is not true. Within top 4, there is a pretty clear pecking order
Spoken like a true med student. You will not be limited in your career by attending any of the top ~25 academic derm residencies.
upenn is the best program on the east coast, ucsf on the west coast< THANK YOU!
< You guys are missing my point. I wanted to know if NYU and UCSF have better clinical training than Harvard and Stanford. Not if they will equally set me up for a career. Is Harvard the best program? Why is this so hard to answer?
they can't
