Danville, PA
Sentiment score: 5.2 / 10
Applicants discuss Geisinger's interview process, with many reporting rejections while others received interviews and second interviews. The program receives mixed reviews regarding location (small town with limited social activities) and training environment (described as chill with 1:1 attending supervision), with some logistical questions about interview scheduling and hotel accommodations.
what is the best program for mohs?
iowa
have heard Miami has a really high Mohs match rate and strong procedural training
I think they have one Mohs spot per year, but yea some years match 3-4 into Mohs
i heard geisinger basically guarnantees home students match there
is there a resource to research different mohs fellowships?
what do you think some of the most chill TYs are? and what factors are you looking at other than # of elective months (if that's equivalent)?
Biggest factor other than elective months is what the inpatient weeks look like. Is it super busy, high volume, high call, lots of nights etc. Geisinger TY was the most chill place I interviewed at easily
imagine my shock at geisinger TY when they told me it was a 28 bed hospital… and I said I liked having friends around and they kindly informed me it's 1:1 with an attending all day. Talk about getting DNR'd lol >it's also in a tiny town with nothing to do. Lots of free time as an intern, but nothing to do with it
Can we create a list of programs that have early morning didactics (like 6:30 or 7am start time) before clinic?
MUSC, Vanderbilt , UAMS, UAB, NW, Harvard, MCW, henry ford> Geisinger
OHSU
When a program says they have "academic half days", does this just refer to study time or lectures
"academic half days" are study time. "didactics" are lectures
I have seen programs with all women class. Has anyone seen a cohort with only guys?
Geisinger senior class is all guys!
Uconn has a lot of men
Tufts senior class is all but 1 male
was on a social the other day, 14 women 3 dudes, guys are minorities
oh how the tables have turned lol
POOP
oh how the tables have turned lol
Are prelim spots tied to derm interviews this year? i applied to mostly schools that i did not get a derm interview for and i know 1-2 schools that said they would only release prelims to folks that got derm interviews. trying to figure out if it makes sense to still reach out to these prelims for interviews even though i got denied derm II
got a Geisinger TY and didn't get Geisinger Derm. Don't think they're tied because other specialties need prelim/TY too
probably program dependent> thank you
I got rejected from UConn prelim in October got a UConn Derm interview in November and then the prelim gave me an invite lmaooo so I'm guessing maybe
the first reject was a mass categorical rejection email sent to everyone
Damn more UConn lore.
I feel bad that UConn is becoming a meme
do they deserve it though…. Do they

why does geisinger keep opening aways
lmao I keep getting emails every day
why is geisinger a catepillar and northwell a trashcan in the match list. i am having way too much fun trying to figure out these emojis
Still have not heard anything from geisinger (no invite or rejection)..anyone else in the same boat? < rejection the other day
Anyone not get the geisinger rejection? Was it through email or ERAS message?
folks who got geisinger ii - any spots left on thalamus? trying to be hopeful there is another wave :( or anyone who got it who wasn't away or home?
ANYONE HAVE GEISINGER LINK? they never emailed me
Dying to know where Anking matched!! < Who is Anking? < someone who combined zanki and lolnotacop and passed it off as his own deck. It is quite remarkable
He matched at Geisinger
