yikes

this program has been awful

oooof imagine you just matched there and now have to worry for the next 9 months before starting

The derm who wrote this article also wrote the article titled 'a mentor is not automatically your advocate' and honestly it's good to hear other people further in training who have had similar experiences. It makes me feel like I'm not alone. But Dr. Lowenstein signing the petition to sunset DEI made me so annoyed/upset. There is also a very prominent faculty member at my insitution who signed the same petition who is very similar when it comes to mentorship, giving criticism, and playing with students/trainees careers. Moreso, it's interesting that many faculty members at other institutions know about this faculty member's antics but are not doing anything. I mean what is the APD doing? Writing memos about limiting away rotations and putting the onus on the medical student to be "equitable" when faculty with power like mine or Dr. Lowenstein exist. These faculty members are the ones creating structures of inequity that affect swaths of future physicians. All of this performative bullshit from the APD is so exhausting. Attack the most important problems for the love of God!!! < preach sister

APD recommendations are super inequitable. I support limiting students to 2 aways with home or 3 without, but it needs to be a requirement, not a suggestion. I don't understand why they feel they cannot enforce said requirement.
