Did anyone else see that Residency Explorer says that Tufts, University of Michigan, and Mount Sinai are not accepting applications for the 2027 cycle? Is this true or just an error?

3 entries❌1. almost pointless to apply here if you aren't a research fellow or have a strong connection. nepotism is worth more than anything else here
❌2. I was offered an away in June and had to decline it because in their offer email they stated that because of the "number of attendings we would be rotating with" we should not expect letters of recommendation nor ask for them.
💬1. seriously, why would ANYONE waste a signal here if you didnt do a RY with the department? 90-100% of their spots go to their own fellows.

because there's no consequences for faculty - literally know one person who the whole department + staff know that they are abusive to students - including yelling + cursing at students and making them cry (publically in front of department and clinic staff) and nothing was done. they literally blatantly lie about students to other faculty, which leads to the students who are abused being villanized. probably to try and hide the abuse even more or try to make people feel like it was ok to mistreat those people. it's sad that this person is still allowed to work with students (and gets paid to "mentor" them). the people giving mentorship grants to them are unknowingly endorsing abusive treatment of students and it's super sad to see.

that's not cool. why try to spread lies when i'm saying it's not about mt sinai. if it was about that institution i'd just say it. almost seems like you're trying to cover up the truth.

What schools only take research fellows? I've heard Mount Sinai and Mayo Arizona but are there others? Same with away rotators only (basically which programs to avoid signalling unless you rotated at)
I think most small programs 2 or fewer reisdents/class tend to take primarily away rotators/fellows not just Mayo AZ, however mayo AZ especially isnt worth it unless you did a research fellowship with them. Sinai also as you said, but they are a big program just with tons of fellows that are essentially guaranteed a spot. UCLA also past years has also taken primarily research fellows. Programs that heavily favor away rotators tend to be NYC programs, especially cornell. Texas programs tend to primarily recruit from texas schools or away rotators with texas connections. USF primarily takes those with regional connections. CWRU usually takes home students and their own research fellows. Wouldnt even bother with the Larkin programs unless you have no other choice and can pay for a spot. Hopefully this is helpful, will try to add more if I think of any

Does anyone know which RY programs pay PGY-1 salary? Mount Sinai does, right? A lot of the "paid" ones are like 20-30k stipends...
honestly most are even less than that - I got 12.5k and know of several people who got less

That's honestly as good as it'll get. I got 40k and that seems pretty good to me

Even more important than rotation mills are programs that only take their own research fellows. While rotation mills will still interview and match a percentage of their rotators (with variability between programs), programs that only take their research fellows will rotate and interview many of their rotators, but ultimately offer little to no chance of matching for those outside their fellows.

Can those who took a RY share how to go about searching for these? I'm from a pretty good program and am conflicted whether it's best to do a RY at a smaller, lower tier school I'd love to match at (in my home state) or do it at a 'top-tier' program. Anyone know of any programs that have great RY outcomes?
would definitely recommend the smaller, lower tier school that you're interested in matching at and this is coming from someone who did their RY at a top-tier program with many other research fellows

Anyone have thoughts on Mount Sinai RY (other than the internal bias for their RY candidates, are they decent output, good mentorship?)
Apr 1

imo one of the best RYs you can do. several of their RY students presented at AAD this year. your mentor will be a derm expert and if you work hard and get along with everyone you have a very good chance of matching there

agree, there should be a bare minimum level of professionality held by people representing the profession. Public trust in the health system and physicians has been eroded over the past 5yr and sorry to hurt everyones feelings, but people such as this are only further damaging that (can this)>> Yes Dr. Boos is the best! I'm talking more people like the sirdermzalot on IG and some of the other wanna be influencers on tik tok talking about sword swallowing in between their rants

a certain upcoming PGY2 resident is very cringe and borderline unprofessional about all the gay stuffs he posts...> I'm sorry but what's wrong with wearing a speedo? It's giving the whole discourse on female doctors wearing bikinis >sirdermzalot is the nicest and kindest person ever, leave him alone

i see nothing wrong with speedos and being yourself. a happy doctor = better care :)

but if a female resident/attending posts in a bikini.....>> No literally. Post whatever you want, but having a physician social media page with your cheeks and balls out in a speedo and posed naked with the blur APP is CRAZY work. Supposed to sit here and pretend its normal lol have some level of decorum. As a gay man it gives me second hand embarrassment bc it makes us look vapid and air headed, if a female physician were to do that she would get judged and canceled yet bc you're a guy that sleeps w other guys suddenly its ok? like what lmao

Are Sinai med students not strong? Their match list for derm always surprises me. I thought they had a good school name, but they barely ever have any ever matches to programs outside of Sinai.
might be bc since they only take their own research years its less reciprocal for other schools to take them

they literally matched 1 person to Harvard and 1 person to UCLA outside of the 2 students at Sinai. not sure what this person is talking about
