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?

LeHigh Valley Just called for an invite... Mixed feelings since it's a DO program. Honestly didn't even remember applying there.M
anyone hear anything about Lehigh Valley, Ohio Health or St Joseph Mercy Livingston?
anything from largo, lehigh valley or ohio health in columbus
Transitional year question: Has anyone heard from Detroit-area programs (Beaumont, Oakwood) or Indianapolis-area programs? I know there's a separate thread, but it seems much less active than this doc.
does McNEal TY count? I dont know the area very well.
MacNeal is near Chicago. Sill waiting to hear from beaumont and Indi. |Yes, Beaumont sent invites 2 weeks ago
Anyone hear from TYs or prelims for UPMC, Lehigh Valley (Allentown, PA), or Mercy Catholic (Darby, PA)?
Yes oakwood has also gone out
both Oakwood (Dearborn) and Oakwood (Taylor)? or just one of them?
Both oakwood programs have gone out
Lehigh valley and Mercy sent out a few weeks ago
Darn ok thanks. Anyone hear from UPMC prelim or TY? I expected to get at least one of them.
I have heard nothing from UPMC prelim/TY... I have strong ties to the city, and I've been dong well with TY interviews so far.
Some posts are shown because their comments mention this program.
Congrats! x4 --> Thank you!!! DO school? --> Yup - rotated there too!
