Is the UCLA medstar program only available for MD/PhDs? < https://www.uclahealth.org/dermatology/residency-program: "The STAR program provides physician-scientists entering our program with combined M.D./Ph.D. degrees a comprehensive clinical training integrated with a post-doctoral opportunity." In the Derm residency program itself, it seems to be the case, yes.
anyone know why a resident trasnferred from medstar/georgetown to another program?
Does anyone know why MedStar has "Continued Accrediation with Warning" for the past 2 years. On Janaury 6, 2022 they recieved "continued accrediation with warning". Is this a red flag? Concerned about ranking them high < https://apps.acgme.org/ads/Public/Programs/Search < why did a resident leave the program recently?
For Georgetown Med star derm program, do we have to rank internal medicine prelims to match the program? The website is a little confusing and on the applicant page it says you need to do an internal medicine preliminary but it wasn't mentioned on interviews and on the main page of the residency program they said any post graduate 1 year education is fine. I might just be over thinking this whole thing < current georgetown student, you can do a TY or prelim but like most derm programs they prefer a prelim year :)
Seeing the hotlist is locked...Georgetown M&G...gray henley *drool*
Does anyone have interview impressions for georgetown/medstar interview?
Does Maryland or Georgetown have academic time?
anyone know why Medstar/Georgetown is under ACGME warning for probation? // The official term is "Continued Accreditation with Warning": Cook County Health and Hospitals System, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science (Rochester), MedStar Health/Washington Hospital Center, Tufts Medical Center, UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine/UCLA Medical Center, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Wayne State University School of Medicine. The only program that is on "Probationary Accreditation" is Rush University Medical Center.
Programs w/ ACGME warnings:Cook, UCLA, Mayo MN, Medstar, Tufts, UTHSC, Wayne State // What reasons would a program be on warning for // is medstar even taking people this year?
was anyone invited to interview for both categorical and med derm at medstar?<only the med derm invite for me < i got both
anyone know other programs that iv separately for prelim (wash u) vs those derm iv counts also as prelim IV (upmc)? < so if we interview at upmc we can rank their prelim? even if we didnt apply? < Does Medstar count as prelim?? < I wish this was more clear at programs! < for UPMC you do have to aply but don't have to interview
Was only 1 interview date offered for medstar derm? 2/8? < yes but multiple sessions
Can someone clarify for me if medstar invitation delineated "medicine/derm" versus derm only in their invite? ERAS said categorical was the medicine/derm program, and my invitation says categorical < my invite specifically said "medicine/derm" as the program and also received invite to schedule IM interviews. <thank you! < mine said both
so does medstar/georgetown have 3 advanced spots and 1 spot for med-derm?
how do interview slots look like for MedStar?
