Fame & Shame

2025–2026 Derm

5 entries

1. The didactics and the faculty were top tier. Location is hard to beat and so is the salary and housing. Residents seemed happier here than any other program I rotated at. They don't pay much attention to medical students compared to other schools, but were very kind when I made conversation. Seemed that they just wanted to focus on their work. Ranking highly.

2. I feel like I had a totally different experience than the shame commenter in terms of training. The residents I was with did essentially all procedures in clinic and let me help with some. The faculty rarely if ever stepped in, and when they did I thought they offered helpful clinical pearls. I wonder if this is attending dependent. I also felt that the consult service is very reasonable for their volume (2-3 months/year with the other 10ish months spent on clinic) and is a significant pro of the program because of the variety of cases you will see

1. One of the most overrated programs out there where it's only saving grace is the name and location. One of the allergy attendings is incredibly rude (ifykyk) and it's clear he does not give a damn about medical students or even residents for that matter. He should not be working with rotators if he hates them that much. Despite being in the city, vibes are very weird if you're a POC. Training is abysmal, residents are micromanaged for simple procedures like biopsies and rarely get the autonomy to do any themselves. A ridiculous proportion of your training is spent doing consult medicine which 99% of applicants are not even interested in. I ended up ranking very low due to my eye-opening horrible experience there.

2. Residents are be a bit standoff-ish and seem stressed overall. They like each other but not the med students. For example, a resident said they left a room bc they didnt want to be in there with the med student. If you do the 2 week IM rotation, it'll be hard to get an II bc you see less faculty. The 4 week is better bc you rotate with different faculty & they send the II once you finish the away. Residents are not part of the interview process but they will report back to faculty if there's concerns. The allergy guy in the previous comment is likely Dr. Z. He's def just blunt at first but then on a good day, hes actually pretty nice and make jokes. Its very 50/50. Either way he doesnt contrib to the interview process. Its a huge faculty, but half of them dont even interview you so its very interesting. you dont rotate at lincoln memorial

💬1. Residents dont seem to like eachother. competitive vibes even among eachotehr > only did a 2 week away here so maybe i didnt get the full vibe as a 4 week away student, but the residents seemed to be good friends with each other. idk what theyd be competing for lol theyre already in residency

There is no separate pre-interview resident meet and greet for Cornell, right?

weird to include med school in zoom name? < i have noticed that it is fine for everyone else except students at T20s lol < meaning OK to include school name if school is below T20 med schools? <- just include it. if you went to harvard or stanford we get youre hot stuff. no one is going to be impressed if you went to dartmouth brown or cornell lol. < lol yeah.. I'm like ~T20 school but thought it would just help identify me as "person from ***" < anything but your name is weird

just realized that only four of the top 20 programs have released invites (emory, yale, UTSW, northwestern)... 11/29 is the big day < I mean also Pitt, UNC, Duke, Cornell, Minnesota < are you implying all these are T20? < all very strong programs but not top 20 if we're going off of doximity.. which is flawed but yeah < what are you judging their strength based on? < doximity does it mainly based on research and reputation I think, not sure how to evaluate a program otherwise... maybe we should come up with a rubric for quality and breadth of training?

Hey guys- M3 here applying this fall. Is MSKCC a really good prelim program? Why are so many people that matched to Derm programs across the country going there?

Derm ppl tend to be more intense (and smart) so they're all for it but tbh it is a tough year and the PD will say that to you on interview day. this being said some people might want the challenge, like the prestige, get excited about the free food and nice facilities, etc! <yeah the PD did say that on interview day lol. The resident on my interview day straight up said that TYs get taken advantage of there. The ED rotation at Cornell is also not a favorite and apparently they were having issues with PPE for the TYs. That was enough for me to not rank it as highly

Hi- could anyone comment on the culture at Cornell? on interview day it seemed like the culture was collaborative and non-hierarchical. Just wanted to see if residents and students feel that way or how you woudl describe the vibe of the department from within
