anyone have thoughts/insight about cleveland clinic?

#2753Feb 21

yes! I'm a "home" student and former rotator - super formal vibes at Cleveland Clinic. Residents felt that the new PD was a drastic change from the old one who was a gem and well loved. Residents were looking forward to leaving because they felt the chill vibes have gone away and new admin are more stricter about things including attending conferences, scoring on derm exams, more scut work etc. Will probably be ranking the other programs in Cleveland higher just because the residents seemed unhappy with the changes to the program. Residents needed to manage the attending inbox which they said was a huge negative. Plus even tho there are in-house fellowships, there is no preference given for in-house residents for Mohs... Feels like there's more negatives here + it felt like the residents didn't have a voice

why are you putting quotes around "home"? Isn't case western a home program?

technically but not officially, CCF has their own med students at CCLCM

Ah, so case western is "home" that's why there's quotes I see >haha yeah its confusing for ppl not familiar with the cleveland med programs

UH>CCF>Metro

Feb 21

I thought the residents were happier at Metro over CCF, I think research/ranking wise CCF defintely wins over Metro but for vibes and well-being I think Metro is better! personally doing UH>Metro>CCF>Metros just tough because its work distributed amongst 2-3 residents vs UH is 6 residents.

Is it just me or do Hopkins students not match all that well compared to other peer schools?

#3613Apr 15

bro they went 10/13 this year at crazy institutions. yeah their derm deparment is weaker but they matched incredibly well. also hopkins r

Two people in T5s, two more in T10s...pretty solid if u ask me

Also, people have higher priorities than matching at the “top” programs. Who wants to go to Harvard work-horse and live in miserable Boston

Bruh, in what world is UCSF, Northwestern, UCSD, NYU, Southwestern not impressive. I also think it’s impressive that everyone was able to match at other institutions besides Hopkins. It’s prob more impressive than say, CWRU where a bunch of internals stayed

Plus being able to match at some of these CA / NYC programs without aways, crackedd

So sorry for infiltrating the spreadsheet, but I could use some real advice. I'm choosing between Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine (a subset of Case Western's medcial school) vs Yale School of Medicine. Very interested in derm and really don't think I will swap out. Yale is $100k more expensive. CCLCM is closer to home, has free tuition for all students, and has built in research. Tons of supportive research mentors for CCLCM students, plus they have 3 home programs in derm. Should I go CCLCM or Yale?

#3623Apr 24

CCLCM is the obvious choice. Cost is so important, you will be well supported, and Yale struggled with derm match this year anyways

Why did someone delete the comment about yale only matching 4/12 this year? Does anyone know if their home department really isn't supportive of their students / dealing with toxicity issues for 8 of their candidates to not match?

#3418Mar 21

negative comments about yale are always deleted quickly...

Mar 21

4/12 is crazy, but I also go to a 'top' program and we only had half of our candidates matched... if any school matched all of their candidates (>4) i'd be impressed. On an unrelated note, I saw a lot of PR students match this cycle which is pretty sick, good on them.

stanford matched all 5 internals this year. i think they've matched up to 12 in previous years. def at least 8.
