Does anyone know anything about medstar med derm? I heard one of their residents died by suicide? What is the culture like there? Is the environment supportive? What's the vibe? I'm a little scared to rank it after finding this out. Also, is it considered a strong program? It was pretty far down doximity's list and I wasn't sure how to interpret that.

read what you just wrote and maybe that will help you -> I was really hoping to hear someone's perspective who rotated there or goes to school there. I'm trying hard to keep an open mind, especially since I don't have a crazy number of interviews.

Feb 21

I go to school there. It's a toxic environment and people are not happy. But dc is nice, other than that, don't really recommend.

Not georgetown sending out a research survey when they didn't interview me after I slaved away on their rotation>the audacity! definitely not helping them

#23412024-2025 DermMar 16

Georgetown vs UVA? Not sure how to differentiate between these

#18792024-2025 DermMar 16

if you could pick any program in the country which one would it be? < SUPER hot take, but Georgetown. I love consults and inpatient and DC makes sense for my personal life. So jealous of those of you who got interviews.

#18592024-2025 DermMar 16
