2026-2027 Derm
2 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.

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.

What's the culture at Sinai?

This may have been alluded to before on the spreadsheet, but is Sinai really some hotshot program like the doximity rankings say? Or is that just a fluke ranking and Sinai doesn't belong in that tier

Out of curiousity, what is the basis for the claims of malignancy at Sinai? I've seen people say it, but I wonder if it's just an echo chamber in here

Thoughts on NYC program rankings. Previously it was discussed that NYU > Columbia > Cornell = Montefiore > Sinai=Downstate > Northwell > Stony Brook. Do we agree?

well looks like ERAS is down for maintenance so I'll just assume I got that Sinai II and it messed up and didn't send me an email. Time for a celebratory mimosa X1000
