SDs latest update to todays post about Larkin is pretty on point. What do you think?
how was this sent? email or ERAS? I applied and did not rotate and didn't get this.
At least DO programs are looking at us. I think MD programs just trash all the DO applications unfortunately. Count our blessings
What does a DO student need to do to get an invite? Off-the-chart test scores, top of class, stellar LORs? What does it take? Post-merger, programs could at least take a look.< merger my ass
Yeah, unfortunately the merger screws us DOs in competitive specialties. Doubt the culture will change for at least a few decades.
St. John's Episcopal Hospital interview invite x1 <congrats any MDs?< DO x1
did you rotate? <I rotated there as an MS3 for family med but never for derm
< do you have to be religious to get an offer?
You must be religious, an ethnic minority and toothless << And baptised before the age of 3 << And you must have survived childhood holoprosencephaly << bruh
I've noticed that some programs (St. John's Episcopal Hospital, Still OPTI, OPTI West, Orange Park, NYMC, Lehigh, Larkin, Larkin Palm Springs, Icahn, HCA, Campbell, Bay Area) do not have "NRMP Program Code"s listed on ERAS. Anyone know why this is? I presume they are all participating in the match?

lmfao x2 < didn't apply to Larkin, but what are you supposed to take away after 2.5 days at a place? What a silly requirement x2
why not 2.75 days???
lmaooo that should be your response OP
what the fuck is LARKIN? DO school? <lol literally my exact thoughts | LOL @ this requirement ... the definition of weird flex but ok ... Larkin come on wtf
...but for real, what is Larkin?
The story with Larkin is they require a rotation because they interview you during the rotation, have you take a 20-question derm quiz, and want to get to know you. But yes... obvi this should be made clear in their website.
DOs are tough and certainly not credited with the respect they deserve on this forum.
Larkin Palm Springs?
Derm has 8 unmatched spots! - Is this true??? That seems way too high
Which one in MO?
larkin in FL always has open spots... did same shit last year, they already have them filled outside of match don't even bother
Almost all of the (reputable/ethical) programs seem to pay between ~55-60k per year, and the salary difference between those numbers isn't that meaningful. Not to mention all the programs on the higher end of that range tend to be ones with very high cost of living. The more meaningful measure might be cost of living, becase 60k per year in iowa and 60k per year in LA are drastically different as far as quality of life and purchasing power
< Some programs (DO) are notorious for low salaries. i.e. Georgia pays $20k/yr, Larkin pays $40k, etc << there was at least one DO program that historicially didn't pay their residents at all but i think they had to change that with the AOA/ACGME merger if they wanted to be accreditted. << that is so messed up
<< Texas has no state income tax which is huge
texass is huge
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK??? Larkin, OPTI, and NM make sense, Denver and Tufts are shockers
<<wtffffff how did that happen
