Larkin Community Hospital-FL

negative

there is no medfluencer I've seen online that is not cringe. Even the "positive" ones> what if its not a medicine focused account

use a pseudonym until match fr

what is a "social media baddie" is this just people calling themselves hot or

yeah pretty much. theres levels to narcissism on social media

postive if u want to go to larkin ehehe

literally so cringe, better ways to make a difference

literally so cringe, better ways to make a difference>> Social media baddie is net neutral if it's just you posting/being baddie, the moment you pivot to making dermatology "content" your personality trait it is ultra cringe.

it is not net neutral lmao

real talk its net positive especially at programs where residents have a big role in selection hot ppl like picking other hot ppl

u underestimate how catty women are towards eachother ...

Healthpartners, Oklahoma, Goodman, Larkin South Miami, Midwestern, TIGMER

oklahoma the only academic program this year to offer physician spot? last year there were more like dartmouth and utmb

Define bottom of the barrel? Pretty sure all derm residents that match are statistically amazing applicants? You end up where you end up. I say this as someone at a "top 10" program

drop the usernames

well dang-also at a top 10 program..OP you sure their programs aren't encouraging this? i remember being told during prelim year to post on instagram.. ^I think I know the program. iykyk.

< What programs do you think are encouraging their residents to become influencers? from what ive seen its short video clips of getting ready, showing off makeup or hair, and other kind of vain videos

"hilarious that derm residents at "bottom-tier" programs exist as humans and have lives outside of medicine" like what? All derm programs have a few of these.

"hilarious that derm residents at "bottom-tier" programs exist as humans and have lives outside of medicine" like what? All derm programs have a few of these. < I think it is strange when almost all of the residents at a program are the cringe influencer type. Larkins for example Agree. I think 1-2 influencers or social media people is fun, but when it's an entire class or half the program it feels off.

i swear every resident at larkin is on tikTok and its soo cringe

i swear every resident at larkin is on tikTok and its soo cringe Yea they have a rep as being like really really bad. Like bad attendings, subpar training, paying less than 50k, etc. Theres a link lower down of someone calling them out on IG.

Hilarious that the bottom of the barrell derm programs suddenly alllll of their residents are making influencer accounts>> Lmao know who exactly you're talking about.

seems like med students care more about this than actual residents, as someone whos a current resident

that IG video doesnt apply to their derm program tbh

Larkin, sorry not sorry. Derm residency is hard and a lot of work, like how do you have hours and hours to make videos as a first year? This is why other fields often don't take us seriously

plus people have straight up bought spots in the program outside of the match in the past

there are many programs worse than larkin

there are many programs worse than larkin> such as?? i dont think so lmao

broward is the worst program by far

broward is the worst program by fa

Interview rates are generally 0-4% w/o signal depending on program. More important to use signals wisely, but not useless to apply without signal (compared to derm where interview rate is 0% lol)

Definitely! TY signals are kind of BS and same with Prelim. The signals help but don't matter nearly as much as for Derm. From personal experience, where I got interviews for TY seemed to not correlate with signals.

If your app is pretty strong save yourself the time and money. 12 TYs and 15 prelims is plenty

I think most small programs 2 or fewer reisdents/class tend to take primarily away rotators/fellows not just Mayo AZ, however mayo AZ especially isnt worth it unless you did a research fellowship with them. Sinai also as you said, but they are a big program just with tons of fellows that are essentially guaranteed a spot. UCLA also past years has also taken primarily research fellows. Programs that heavily favor away rotators tend to be NYC programs, especially cornell. Texas programs tend to primarily recruit from texas schools or away rotators with texas connections. USF primarily takes those with regional connections. CWRU usually takes home students and their own research fellows. Wouldnt even bother with the Larkin programs unless you have no other choice and can pay for a spot. Hopefully this is helpful, will try to add more if I think of any

i think this is all good info but if your mentor has connecs and advocates for u, can still get interview w/o rotating/RY

Texas programs will take Texans that went to medical school outside of the state (got interviews at every Texas school I applied to and did medical school in another state - am Texan)

Both but especially south miami are regarded as the bottom derm programs but its better than not being matched. They are like the Bama of derm. You went there because you couldnt get in anywhere else.

The pay they give their residents for living in south florida is criminal (>20,000 lower than all other programs with way higher cost of living)

most medfluencers are so, so cringe, the derm ones are the worst. I can respect the hustle tho, if I successfully match next year, I lowkey want to make to game all the free skincare products

I saw this one Derm medfluencer who posted their wedding at Mar a Lago. I thought that was kind of wild, don't most PDs lean liberal?

is this people like Iya Agha?

LOL im glad you said this bc they really are so superficial and cringe. like all they do post is vids of them doing botox, how they live in miami, how you can still be smart and a girly girl or baddie in medicine (most cringe and demeaning to us women tbh bc men dont have to post stuff like this to gain traction on social media), and how they matched derm as DO's when people told them they cant. Like pls you go to one of the most notorious/least respected programs in the country...

I feel like they're vastly contribute to why the rest of medicine doesn't consider derm physicians. We vastly downplay how difficult derm really is

Yep pretty much. I think people in medicine understand how competitive derm is and how it is a challenging speciality but people outside of medicine genuinely think derm is only cosmetics. And most of the time they are very shocked to learn that is is one of the most competitive specialities.

Fr one of my surgery attendings told me I was "wasting my talents" applying to dermatology this year. He definitely understands how competitive dermatology is but straight up told me he does not really respect it as a field. I was so flabbergasted lmao

I'm going to guess performative liberalism aside from a few places, most people are probably not as liberal as you might think

very true, non-liberal opinions are just not stated publically

mar a lago crazy tho, PDs might be moderate but our current President is a diff story

mar a lago crazy tho, PDs might be moderate but our current President is a diff story Even without social media you get crazy free products. You dont need to become a cringe influencer.

Fr one of my surgery attendings told me I was "wasting my talents" applying to dermatology this year. He definitely understands how competitive dermatology is but straight up told me he does not really respect it as a field. I was so flabbergasted lmao < aaaand its because of the Larkin SM and PS type posts/influencers

you don't tho, the only ones you get are those u get from conferences/aveeno types. I want the cool trendy ones shipped to me

some of them started making videos recommending skin products before they even started derm and even now have only been in derm a few months and still know nothing

One of them posted something promoting heels that were over $1000 , wears a Rolex/ other extremely expensive items to work and is in general extremely out of touch with how the average person lives. Must be nice to have extremely rich parents buy your way in

that's exactly who lol> LOL im glad you said this bc they really are so superficial and cringe. like all they do post is vids of them doing botox, how they live in miami, how you can still be smart and a girly girl or baddie in medicine (most cringe and demeaning to us women tbh bc men dont have to post stuff like this to gain traction on social media), and how they matched derm as DO's when people told them they cant.

Iya Agha's dad is an interventional radiologist or something like that. Ofc she's rich lol

yep! "here are my skincare recommendations as a derm resident!" and they are in their prelim year like be so fr right now

yeah and half of her published research is with her dad or people she knows from her dad lmao <- lmao thinking an IR is rich is actual clown sh*t go to med school in NYC and you will meet actual rich people

not sure what your definition of rich is but every IR at my hospital makes a minimum 600k annually which is a lot... pretty sure he also owns a private practice that she has posted tiktok videos outside of <- 20M net worth IMO

"here are my skincare recommendations as a derm resident!" and they are in their prelim year like be so fr right now

you'd be surprised at how many medical practices barely survive... not saying her dad is one of them, but things always look shinier from the outside in. W2's are attractive for many reasons

he literlaly owns a surgery/medical center https://iyamedical.com/ <- 20M net worth IMO

the agha medical center just started a medspa too... where do you think Iya is beelining too after she finishes her 3 year botox course at Larkin?

not sure what your definition of rich is but every IR at my hospital makes a minimum 600k annually which is a lot... pretty sure he also owns a private practice that she has posted tiktok videos outside of

theres nothing like embarrassing yourself online daily for some free pdrn serums

Larkin SM and PS are pay to play. Even those who dont pay for thir spot outright you need to come from money to survive pay in the 40'sK range while living in one of the highest COL areas

genuinly how are these programs accredited lmao

40k is craazy

the concept of arguing over whether Iya agha's IR physician father is wealthy ..... touch grass

the concept of arguing over whether Iya agha's IR physician father is wealthy ..... touch grass... 600k is really not that much, bf works in tech and that's like a mid level software engineer

the concept of arguing on whether 600k is a lot of money with the state of this country....touch grass.... and 20M net worth to be considered wealthy? like stfu you're genuinely closer to being homeless than being worth 20m in your life <- any derm who works for 30 years could get to a 20M net worth actually could a person with a 600k income buy a house in the bay area? lol

no they couldnt actually could a person with a 600k income buy a house in the bay area? lol

oh ok sorry I didnt realize that affording a house in the bay area was what determined the value of 600k thank you for clarifying < ya I mean it do be kinda clownish to be calling someone wealthy when they cant buy a house lmao

the concept of arguing on whether 600k is a lot of money with the state of this country....touch grass.... and 20M net worth to be considered wealthy? like stfu you're genuinely closer to being homeless than being worth 20m in your life <- any derm who works for 30 years could get to a 20M net worth actually

tf? after a few years of working you can easily afford to buy a 1-2+ mil home with that salary. and majority people take out loans to purchase homes? you're out of touch and delusional LMAO

I think cornell is like the only one

Cornell does not match every research fellow

is there a list somewhere?

I don't think anything or anyone can guarantee you a match

pretty much none? imo if an institution matches back a good amount of their RY students I would take that as a positive

larkin palm springs research year with Dr. Skopit guarantees match

i know a cornell fellow who didnt match anywhere

Tulane and UAB are guaranteed

cornell does not match their own fellows very often

larkin south miami research year with Dr. Skopit guarantees match

Cornell does not match every research fellow this is absolutely false about cornell, they are not loyal> larkin south miami research year with Dr. Skopit guarantees match

The Maryland RY seems pretty guaranteed as well, not back to Maryland per say but just derm

MUSC

cornell does not match their own fellows very often>> Larkin South Miami home of the pay2play derm position has an unpaid RY which they will guarantee your acceptance the following year in their wonderful program

Did anyone ever end up getting a hold of PCOM this cycle? It seems like they changed their name to a Larkin on ERAS/NRMP? I was offered a rotation after the first informal interview but then could never get a hold of anyone in the program, despite them being very nice on the interview. If you aren't a DO they won't consider you

why would they invite them back for a second away? At some point it falls on the program too. >> Lmao or basic iq to not reapply for an away

can anyone confirm larkin palm springs released interviews

yes, Larkin PS released on 12/23

can someone add the ones that are missing to release again?

Recently Released: NY: NYMC OH: Wright State PR: Univ Puerto Rico MD: Walter Reed MI: Beaumont FH FL: KCU-GMEC/ADCS, Largo, Larkin PS

Add any info in the column to the right in brackets!

Read the room bro

focus on step 2 studying lil bro

now is not the time to ask us questions

get those pub numbers up lil bro

100% can confirm at least 1 resident at Miami Larkin bought their spot

yes it says so specifically on their website too "Our program accepts applications through ERAS but are required to attend an audition rotation to be considered for a position. Our program does not take ERAS ‘signaling’ into account."
