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.

Ight people bashin Sinai a lil too hard, just finished the interview, they were nice and recognize their old culture needs to be changed and are working on changing that culture now, and Sinai won't be my first choice but there are supportive faculty there, especially the PD/APD which is a good sign for any program

Just finished the sinai information session… I have to say, based on all the echo room nonsense, I was pretty surprised. Doesn’t seem malignant at all. I know people keep saying that, but nobody provides any evidence. They have a new chair and new PDs (that are young). I heard that the old PD was kinda crazy, but this group seemed really nice. Big program, lots of clinical sites, but lots of clinical exposure. NYC is a plus or minus, depending on you. Clearly they are recruiting a lot of research and clinical people, so it’s definitely not the same department. They have a 2. Like I said, I was pleasantly surprised. I guess we’ll see what the residents say.
