Do we know if it matters if we go to the residency open houses? Like do they keep track of it when choosing who to interview?
Definitely not
They use Zoom trackers to keep track of attendees (often blacklisting those who register and then no-show). After that they filter camera-on versus camera-off users and will rank you accordingly based on participation and engagement (are they smiling/active/nodding?)
no lol
This is absolutely true, signed resident at a highly ranked research institution.
@ the resident, when a program says at the start that it doesn't count/they don't track, should we trust it?
Listen, I know were all neurotic but honestly do we really think an optional open house is going to make or break anything. No. If you register, you should try to attend because you may learn something about the program you didn't know. If a program says at the beginning they dont track, that means to chill.
As a resident in charge of the open house I can tell you the other people in these comments are full of shit. We do not look at or really even remember who is coming to the open house. In fact, it is really annoying when students are doing too much at these open houses. It is genuinely just a chance to learn more about the program. I couldn't give a fuck less if you have your camera on or are dressed in business clothing, etc.
< i hope this is a joke < no its in the NRMP charting outcomes
i know the other person is joking obvy but a resident told me once for their program they keep track, obvy not majority of places but n =1
lol theyre not going to rank you to match just bc you showed up to an open house pls
Nobody said they are ranking to match, but we use it as criteria for interview selection. We look for people who are dressed nicely in formal attire during these open houses, camera should always be on, questions being asked, etc.
you cant be serious lol
not getting an interview because you left an optional open house early sounds like serious copium
LMFAO literally how delusional can you be
they said "how are you going to hate from the outside of the club.. you cant even get in"
and yet they're still insecure…yikes! "I'm so awesome I can't possibly fathom any other reason why I wouldn't get an interview other than this open house that no one cares about"
<it's giving the Temple resident TikTok
So is it better to not sign up for them if you can't for sure attend? I'm on the west coast so some of these east program ones occur when I'm in clinic 😭
some told us during the open house that they don't collect attendance; I don't think it is tracked usually and if it is, not weighed heavily. It is mostly helpful to just be able to have specific things to say about the program / see if you are interested
no lol
