Anyone have any tea on Northwestern? Vibe?
Did RY, no IV disclaimer. Many of the faculty, especially the young ones, have large unjustified egos. I would argue this translates to resident selection from preferring nearly exclusively elite medical schools (not saying these people aren't qualified). It also translates to some faculty much worse teachers than others and having little autonomy for the typical resident. There's a large emphasis on research. However, all the residents except for 1-2 are very kind, supportive and enthusiastic. Word of advice when it comes to doing a RY here, you need to thoroughly vet your PI and talk with the previous fellows. Not all relationships are created equal and it's almost like 10 different possible experiences under the NU umbrella
Damn! I'm sorry to hear that. I appreciate you sharing your experience.
this has been a consistent sentiment but not as extreme for years
NorthWestsern sucks eggs
Hmm, i did a rotation here and had a different take. Felt like the attendings were really invested in learner growth / very strong clinically in addition to the research strength
also did rotation, agree about the egos and bad vibes very unappealing, tbh even the residents feel a little egotistic but i think it's the environment bc they are so personable in moments
now that's a roast lol

a bunch of snobby researchers who devote little to no time to patient care. Interviewed and rotated with them so I know what I'm talking about. Happy for the interview but I will be ranking them near the bottom. If you want to go to residency to become a researcher who has little clinical skills and must rely on chatGPT for differentials and plans a month before graduating, then this is the place for you.
