Sentiment score: 5.2 / 10

Applicants discuss Columbia as a competitive NYC dermatology program with mixed perceptions. While some view it positively and describe friendly faculty/residents, others rank it below NYU and express concerns about patient population and program culture. The program appears to be actively interviewing external candidates and releasing match results, though applicants debate its tier ranking among NYC institutions.

Anyone know programs that have good fertility coverage in their insurance :D?

UCSF has 30k!

Penn, Columbia >Mayo has tons of support, UCSD also has robust fertility benefits (I think 20-30k)

Feb 21

are fertility benefits mainly egg freezing or do they are include IVF?

Feb 21
0

i think both

Feb 21

a handful of programs ive interviewed at have had this. so nice to see!

Is there a way to see the fertility specific coverage in a plan or did the programs specifically highlight it as a benefit? would love to know which programs have coverage!

Does anyone have any insight on what the program at Mizzou is like? everyone there seemed super nice so was just wondering!

#25412025–2026 DermFeb 21

Rotated there - some of the friendliest and most down-to-earth faculty and residents I've ever worked with. Lots of peds derm on the faculty, very welll-rounded curriculum IMO. Columbia is very college town-y so that could be a plus or minus depending on where you are at in life

Feb 21

Very kind faculty who want to teach. They will be having residents go to a smaller town 30 min away starting next year but could be a positive if you like that

UCSF vs Columbia vs UCLA?

#25402025–2026 DermFeb 21
