Emory Univ SOM-GA

I believe 2/4 matched but the fellowship match is changing (becoming more like ERAS) so as long as you network you’ll have a good shot of matching. <Out of curiousity how will the change affect match rates?

Nothing real has or will change with the Mohs match. It's always been about who you know and it will still be about who you know for years to come

"

I think it's one half day per week, you get assigned to one of the three sites your first year, but in your second and third year you may be able to request a different site once you have seniority

it's required to have at least one continuity clinic per month so everywhere has it, it's just a matter of their format for it

<that seems really hard to believe. Emory PD even told me if someone emails her post interview/rotation she has a standard simple email reply that she sends to everyone <-- this is true

At this point I'm at a 25:1 applied:interview ratio

this rejection was so pointless. WE ALREADY KNOW THE INTERVIEW DAY PASSED AND THUS WEREN'T GOING TO GET AN INTERVIEW

i feel you

people on this spreadsheet know. How about the other 80% of people who don't use this crazy spreadsheet? <ok but still, why tell us a week after the interview is over? Their timing was way off and they could have, at the very least, sent it sooner.

lol

NYU, I don't know what the past interview impressions were talking about, the faculty were very funny/witty and not "stone faced" at all. I wish that we had been able to see Bellevue (I got to see it during medical school interviews, and I do think that it is the crown jewel of NYU). Still, I enjoyed the presentations since all the faculty members came out to give their take on the school and their specialty. Also, UTSW, so many residents came out, program is super strong, PD seems super invested in the program (especially to have stayed the PD for ~30 years), the 2-day interview and the faculty/residents coming out on a Saturday made a strong impression on how much they value the educational aspect of the dermatology department. Derm interviews end up being quite an elaborate production.

agree with NYU, really left a strong impression on me. Another underrated one was Michigan. I thought the interview staff were exceptional and the interviewers had all read my app/had insightful questions

Emory!!!! Just kidding ... UVA was really solid

I'm actually so suprised by Michigan! That goes to show that you take the things said on the internet with a grain of salt. What ever malignancy that was there is definitely in the past. So many great changes have been made and the residents were genuinely happy.

interview day doesn't always equate to what it is actually like to work there x2

hopefully Michigan has changed as people have said since that post a few years back. I have friends who are there for things like ENT and plastics and they're known for having one of the best surgical cultures in the country

UAB! If this program were in a more popular or sexy location it would be a top tier type program. Extremely well-rounded with a big wig chair who advocates like heck for her residents for fellowships, jobs (private or academic). Residents get their fellowships in a very happy collegial atmosphere. Low COL, high QOL, overall awesome!

MCW! residents are incredibly nice, faculty is diverse in training and the program is growing. During the interview, chair is ambitious (he is an incredibly big name) and really trying to seel program. He has already accomplished a lot. Low COL and they really wanted everyone to be there. I also interviewed at UAB, it did not feel top tier. The faculty is incredibly small for it to be a top tier... yeah I was really disappointed by UAB too

MCG having a 100% Mohs match rate was impressive to me given the national averages

over what time frame?

I think is quite new program

Not sure over what time frame but seemed like since the chair has been there. the program was started in 1967 so not exactly new

agree with NYU...definitely solidified itself as #1 program in the country << you're trying too hard with this comment

lol there were 20 other programs that interviewed last week. Let's stir the pot with one of the others haha

Bruh, lol, let's jut let the pot settle, please please please

<agreed. As someone else mentioned, it's a strong program. It's just not among the 'best'.

What would that even accomplish? -- I doubted this at first as that seems outlandish, but then I saw the interview impression tab and the only comment was posted on August 2nd and their interview didn't happen until December, which is kind of weird.

Was it copied from last year? - IDK?

yes its the same as last year

skin of color as in red man syndrome?

oh good question! I would like to know too

My guess: Mt. Sinai, Wake, Howard, UCSF, Harvard, U penn, NYU

< you forgot UTAH

NYU??? x2

absolutely NYU << dang one would think that best skin of color training would occur in places with high % skin of color pop (Detroit, Birmingham, Baltimore, etc)

really UTAH?

I think sarcasm

What about Henry Ford, Emory, UNC, NW? Henry Ford PD actually felt the need to reassure us during the interview presentation that they get to see skin cancer at community clinics because the main hospital is so heavily just skin of color

<I rotated at UNC and felt it was very diverse - agreed, very pleasantly surprised

Another vote for Wake Forest! Amy McMichael is an amazing doctor and person!

<- WF faculty seems diverse, but their patient population is still pretty rural and not as diverse

yes, but Dr. McMichael has an interest in SOC so tailors her teaching/clinic to that. She gave a talk to our program a few years ago, hence the fangirling.

Also, Hopkins has a specific initiative to support underrepresented minority faculty and residents.
