What applicants said about Kaiser Permanente-Los Angeles-CA in the 2020 cycle

NYU

I'd like to give a nod to the University of Missouri for the pizza at lunch. Bahn Mi pizza was delicious

Henry Ford for the best snacks. Dried fruit, chocolate covered (dont remember what), and Rx bars

tx

Miami. That Cuban food was so good

I love this town, the people, the food - pork sandwiches - my favorite ... but tonight I'm hungry for something different

UCSFx2 gotta love that sushi and ice cream sandwich combo

Kaiser lunch had bomb build your own bibimbap

TX A&M had chick fil a sandwiches so them for sure

Yale "foods of New Haven" was bomb x 2

The Mexican food at Stanford + the mediterranean food at stanford

Dartmouth pre-fixe farm to table dinner the night before

heard it used to be great, but there have been some turnover with faculty (many leaving to USC, which is now considered a better program by some)> they have very little info on the website<anyone have any idea when the interview day will end?

email said around 1 oh please, I just hate the lies some times. USC as a health system was recently on probation. They are not jumping from UCLA in droves to USC.

this is actually not true - several faculty have been poached from UCLA to USC (in "droves") <yes, including USC's current PD and head Mohs surgeon.

before or after probation issues? Also 2 people don't constitute 'droves'

some after, some before. probation issues had nothing to do with the derm department. there are more than those 2.

either you have a UCLA invite and not a USC invite, or you haven't spent much time with both depts...

you don't have to believe me, look up their faculty list and see for yourself

☕☕☕

um, UCLA has like 8 more faculty than USC

quality, not quantity honey

<not a top CA program <There are many solid CA programs and UCLA is included in that. I know someone who ranked UCLA over UCSF & Stanford partially for locations reasons, but they did not feel like they were sacrificing quality of education. <Great location, but still not a top program compared to every others in CA. <true

not true

Stanford & UCSF are on another level, then UCSD, then UC-davis, UCLA & USC

would consider lower tier program. Not a department (it's a division under medicine) so there is limited upside for improvements. Location is amazing though if you want to be in SoCal x4 .

Would not say low tier. Would pick it above most of the 100+ programs, but not top tier/upper

In order: Stanford/USCF, UCSD, UC-Davis, UCLA, USC, UC-Irvine, Loma Linda/UCLA-Harbor, Kaiser Permanente, Opti West (Newport)

UCLA and UC Davis are not above USC

This one line represents the horrible sabotage that is going to plague every question about california programs this season

This whole thread is ridiculous. Pick whichever CA program suits you the best. Derm reputations are mostly based on how long the program has been around and how much research money they have. Remember that matching at a "top tier derm program" may be seen as > matching to other programs, but they're >>>>>>>>> not matching. Regardless, you'll be the envy of every other non-derm doctor

<- this man needs an award x2

Congrats!! 1/16 right?

any non-regional ties? Yes 1/16, yes regional ties

Anyone know if they send waves? Or is this it?
