Because I promised my momma I wouldn't go on any more interviews, I will not be going to Roger Williams Medical Center! Here goes a trickle folks! Best of luck (1 day, January 17)

I can't say much for Brown or Providence to provide a point of comparison, but for Dartmouth, you want to consider whether you can handle New Hampshire and snow for 3 years (for the record, I absolutely adore rural New England but understand that many don't feel similarly). You're really the only academic game in town for ~100 miles (UVM is 97 miles away) with 1-2 other residents, so you will get lots of cases and exposure, but not as much skin of color training as you'd receive in an urban program. For either, the Ivy name is really a non-factor at this point of our training, so don't let those factors beguile you. From what I can see, though, I see there's usually one person (in a historical class size of 2) matching into dermpath/Mohs, so take that as you will, and looks like people have gone off to be faculty members at some great academic programs. Residents seem pretty set for whatever they want to be doing.

Please everyone remember to take "malignancy" as reported on this anonymous spreadsheet for what it really is. You don't know who is calling a program malignant or for what reasons. Unless it is a clear pattern of malignancy (for example U-Michigan a few years back as reported on SDN (which has now corrected itself)) you shouldn't give it much value at all. If a program (especially a top 20) was actually malignant, it would be abundantly clear on the interview day as it's not something that can be hidden. So, I guess my hope is that you trust your impression after your interview day and having met most of the faculty and residents, over anonymous posts on this spreadsheet. Even if someone doesn't like the feel of a certain program, that doesn't make them malignant, and neither do 7 am lectures. So please, stop spewing accusations of malignancy, and more importantly remember to consider the source. Don't let random people convince you to rank a program lower.

<people arguing about which tip top programs are malignant and why, while I'm sitting here with my non-top programs unable to relate at all haha...ha x3

if the program's residents can't or won't say any negatives about the program, that is an instant red flag for me. -- Agreed x2

I interviewed at place where the residents had these pitiful smiles when telling us about their typical day. Then they asked me about work life at other programs, which really made them sad...

Exactly!!! These are signs that the residents aren't happy.

Have all the trickles from brown been for 1/10?

#22392019-2020 DermMar 23

yes

Mar 23

very unlikley to get trickles the other date since many people want to switch to that one since it does not have conflicts so they have waitlists / swaps for that date. There will probably be more trickles for 1/10 though at Brown and other programs.
