Research Fellow Here: Just noticed in the archive someone asked about hours of the fellowship. Some fellowships (ie Columbia M-F 9-5 (but as previously mentioned they are not as successful at getting you matched. Mine is more like what you make of it. I could do it in an 8-6 fashion and be fine but I really wanted to keep up with the derm residents so since I take off time to go to the didactics its more like 65 hours per week. Way less than intern year. I am also reading outside the program to keep up.

thoughts on the chicago programs? other than NW obv
NYC has a lot of great programs (NYU, Columbia, Cornell, Sinai), but Chicago really only has NW. There are much better programs in the Midwest compared to the other Chicago programs

Yeah, there are so much better Derm programs in the Midwest than in Chicago, i.e. Wash U, Indiana, etc.

MN lakes > lake michigan, the food is slightly better in Chicago (I'll give you that) but MN still has great restaurants. plus it is so much cleaner, less corrupt, has less traffic/crime, and better outdoor activities and bike trails

I'll echo that besides Chicago, Minneapolis/St Paul is great, but so too is Madison. For university towns, Ann Arbor and Iowa City are nice (at least for three years). Not going to lie, Celeveland and St Louis are terrible

Agreed. Case and Cleveland Clinic were both excellent programs. Completely shitty as cities and terrible weather.
