Fame & Shame

2025–2026 Derm

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.

I would say UPMC, UCSD, UCLA, Emory, Columbia, Hopkins, OHSU, Wisconsin, Sinai are all candidates for top 10-20

In the interest of saving everyone money - MS4 - do not apply to NYMC as they are not allowed to accept 4th year medical students only interns and residents

Anyone know which week in Jan the NYC programs will be coordinating for? (as they've done in prior years)

#8532017-2018 DermMar 23

I looked at the calendar from last year and it didn't seem like all the NYC programs did

Looks like Sinai, Columbia, Cornell coordinated last year or just happened that way - end of Jan. NYU was earlier

So is the Mount Sinai PD really leaving, as the Away Rotation Impressions mention?

#8002017-2018 DermMar 23

Not this year, but they are grooming one of their new faculty to take over.
