Looked up the cook county PGY3 that got dismissed. Very sad that this can happen. How are people getting dismissed from derm programs? Have heard of many residents now getting dismissed, for example at Mount Sinai recently too

Thoughts on Cook County? How is cosmetics at CC? < I liked it way more than I expected. Seems like they genuinely like each other, and the strong medical dermatology training is a plus for me. It sounded like they had some cosmetics attendings but no formal rotations.
