How was the Kaiser open house?/ if you went to any other open house the overlap between what you heard there and what was said at kaiser wasprobably 90%
Does anyone have the link to the kaiser open house tonight? i signed up but never recieved the link x2
Kaiser LA with the eras noreply email... fake out. x4
Best food on the interview trail?
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
Does anyone have insight on UCLA?
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
Gonna be dropping kaiser later today - hopefully it goes to one of you all!
<- this man needs an award x2
