HonorHealth-AZ

highly sought after by DO applicants < nah not anymore

why no mayo az ranks then

POOP

orange park

is honorhealth good? < yes have heard honorhealth is good too

> as an aside, what makes something a "community program"?

POOP

not affiliated with a university

community programs are great but thinking that you won't get high volume training at an academic center is crazy. Like everything, your training and experience are PROGRAM DEPENDENT, not academic vs community. Rank which programs you like the best regardless of name, prestige, program type, etc. every program has something unique to offer. You might rank a community program first, then Harvard, then another community program, then so on. Your rank list shouldn't make sense to anyone else because it should be so tailored to your wants and needs

just rank the programs you will be happiest bro. program name doesn't matter for jobs when you're a board certified derm, unless you wanna do academics (which you dont)

Rank the place you will be happiest

POOP

definitely community program, definitely disadvantage from fellowship perspective. residents nice.

> would it be possible to match into Mohs? I personally didn't have a home program applying derm, if I matched here I would be willing to network and reach out to other departments, seems like none of their graduates have done fellowship but not sure if that's due to interest or not getting it, would be nice to return home

during open house the PD specifically called out saying that they have never matched a resident into Mohs and that this isn't the program for you if you want to do Mohs

vividly remember this discussed on the spreadsheet lol

Not sure what you mean by yield protection, but programs 100% factor the likeihood on whether an applicant would want to come to a program in their ranking (e.g., programs from the Midwest/Mountain/South would rank the East/West Coasters lower if the applicant does not give the program strong reason why they would want to come there)

I think yield protection is real (maybe just cope) but I have a PhD and didn't get any interviews at "less competitive" places like Henry Ford, Brown, and community places despite interviews at more "top" places

I hAvE a PhD wHy dIdnT bRoWarD wAnT me

Brown is less competitive what ru saying?

me when I didnt get an HonorHealth interview.. >

It's real for sure

nope what did it say tho

it was an email saying "make sure you've applied to our IM prelim program" and that the derm residency program will start reviewing applications soon. Whats strange is I'd already applied to the IM Prelim program. Did you apply to Honor health derm?

yes, but no signal :( <OP here, I silivered so not sure what this means.

does this mean it is still linked to the prelim?

I silvered Honor Health and didn't get this email. Also they're gonna START reviewing apps?! They are meant to release 11/17 wtf

maybe because you already applied to the prelim?

I am reapplicant and already am doing a prelim and got this email. Should I apply to their prelim regardless?

no lol

yes historically, but they take mds

I emailed and they said that they do not have an active agreement with my school currently and are not executing new agreements, so make sure your school has an agreement with them. >. were you still able to apply through VSLO even thought your school did not have an agreement

it is just wrong to allow an applicant to apply and pay on VSLO if there is no affiliation agreement and they won't be considered. they should have it where you cannot apply

yes my school has an agreement. I figured they would at least decline the application but they might be ghosting

ya it is wrong i was still able to apply even tho we don't have an agreement and wasn't aware until i emailed.

nope idk wtf theyre doing its been weeks
