I rotated here, their program is amazing to me on paper but vibes were just a little off / not my fit. the residents are all really nice, but I was also told not to do the combined because it's really tiring and maybe not worth it. the derm clinics were high volume so they were pretty busy, but I didn't see much unique pathology in general derm honestly. I can't speak for children's national though, didn't see that. otherwise it's just a lot of drive time between sites. Also, residents seemed scared of PD but I honestly thought it was fine to work with her, she just made them redo sutures for subtle problems. I honestly liked their interview day too. Some of the faculty are very kind too like their Chair is an angel and has worked a lot on making the culture better than in previous years per residents . I think it would be a good program but some cons

Hey man you like what you like! Don't let others create a narrative for you. You decide what you like and do with it what you will. I'm also taking everything on this sheet with a HUGE grain of salt, I personally know one or two people who intentionally lie about places to be self-serving. < cannot agree with this more. People will intentionally spread false claims

Didn't someone get fired and another kill themselves at medstar?

but also these "claims" don't come from nothing. a lot of people who are now residents come back and share thoughts on the programs that they held back when they were applicants. it's all just data and it's up to your own discretion how to use it.

fame and shame also a lil old

yes that's why I'm confused on how good the vibes were today.

anyone can put on an act for a couple of hours. Don't ignore all of the feedback over the years.
