Fame & Shame

1. The faculty and residents are incredibly kind

1. Not their fault, but the commute between sites really sucks and is why I won't be ranking it higher. Most residents live in UES which is great but the commute is between 45 min to 1 hr 15 depending on what site you're at.

im literally from long island and i didnt get an interview. i straight up do not understand what is going on. X2 is it just me or should these programs be required to at least interview applicants born/raised there - my family’s tax dollars pays for the hospital << idk if thats supposed to be an insult at me, i was just saying that geographically i was hoping to receive an invite and i didn't get one. not that i should have mandatory got one.

I am a third year medical student in NYC looking for a research fellowship between my M3 and M4. Does anyone have any suggestions? Most of the positions are for people post medical school.

#16172019-2020 DermMar 23

Check out the MRSP program at the NIH

Talk to upper classmen or people who matched in past few years to see if you can get linked with their mentors. Otherwise email people who publish in the location you want to do research with. It might take 50 emails to find the person x2

Here's an easy thing to do: You're at a NYC school? If you're at Einstein, do research at Einstein and you'll match there, almost gaurenteed - look at thier past matches. If you're at NYU, do research at NYU. If you're at Columbia, do research there, etc. etc. You're most likely to match your home program anyways, and if you're at a NYC school it's most likely a good school so just solidify your connections there. Good luck!

#14432019-2020 DermMar 23

<yes, heard back about an hour ago! x2 << I haven't :( as of 15:30 CST x4 << to the person who heard back, did you send them another email this morning with their updated dates? Or just your initial email yesterday? x2 >>I emailed right away yesterday before the new email today! << internal? and/or regional? >> neither. definitely probably just responding as she gets through them!>>Anybody with 11/25 interview want to split Ubers to/from the airport?
