New York, NY
Sentiment score: 6.2 / 10
NYU Grossman is consistently mentioned as a top-5 dermatology program with strong clinical training, particularly at Bellevue, though applicants report mixed experiences regarding resident happiness, work-life balance, and long hours. The program generates significant discussion around interview logistics, ranking decisions, and comparisons to peer institutions like Harvard, Penn, and UCSF, with some applicants praising faculty engagement while others cite concerns about resident satisfaction and program culture.
❌1. Very fucking weird vibes while rotating there. Attendings are nice to your face, harsh behind your back. Residents (including chiefs) are talking shit about certain nurses. Everyone can be super cold (esp some of the nurses? idk maybe just a NYC thing). Residents ask you to do little personal errands not related to patient care.
💬1. Might be a NYC thing with the nurses; they've been on strike in the past few months and tensions been building up. Frequent discussions on r/residency about the dynamic between NYC nurses and residents. > personal errands sounds like some bullshit > a friend who did an away there told me he was asked to help with picking up a resident's child lol > that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard respectfully a crazy thing to ask a med student
What are the best programs for Mohs? Interested in a residency with strong surgical training
NYU
I've heard places with a good track record of matching mohs include univ florida, univ arizona, Mayo, U Miami, UTSW
geisinger and iowa. geisinger has lots of mohs and one of the best mohs matching track rates. Iowa does a lot of mohs as well and has a very strong program
also Cincinnati and they always keep their own residents as fellow
What does it take to match at a prestigious, t5 program like Penn/Harvard/Yale/NYU/Stanford, etc. Does anyone have any internal insight into what these program are looking for?
Idk what specific answer you’re looking for…. Quality research (first-author, novel research, no bullshit case report/research letter) preferably with faculty at a T5 institution, step score >260, amazing clinical LORs, and something cool, non-med/derm hobby or project on the side. Bonus points if you go to a T5 med school. And even after all of this, pray to the Gods. And then be a cool, normal person at interviews.
does it matter if your resesarch is accepted versus submitted-- for example if im first author on a translational work and its just submitted will this be a huge disadvantage
accepted is better than submitted, but at least you can put submitted on eras
my first-author research was accepted super late like a few days prior to start of derm interviews because mentor didn't care and tried to sabotage :/ I had to bring it up in interviews. Probably hurt my overall interviews but helped a lot to secure match.
there is no specific answer. you could try to google or talk to the residents accepted to these programs but even then you might not even know what secret sauce they have lol. but there's most likely something interesting about each one of them (even if it's personal history, prior career outside medicine). or you might know and not even realize what the programs are valuing.
What is the most chill NYC program?
sinai = cornell
columbia
einstein
NYU
downstate
something to think about is that cornell and columbia have twice as much call as sinai and nyu due to class size
cornell & mt sinai
aside from location, are there other reasons why people drool over NYU over other NYC programs?
honestly people dont, if anything i feel like nyu isnt as popular among nyc programs
the cope is strong with this one
don't NYU residents get paid much less compared to other Manhattan programs, and it's known as a work-horse program
the people who do drool over it are drawn to the t5 status, not the actual working conditions, so depends what you value
stop going off of info that's literally been parroted for the last 5+ years and do your own research. NYU residents just got a raise and the working conditions are fine
there is no war in ba sing se
Because NYU is a T5 program.
the residents seem super happy, top notch faculty, and diverse training sites that are right next to each other. plus well rounded for surgery and cosmetic exposure on top of med derm
correct me if im wrong but the raise is still less than other nyc programs? maybe i shouldnt be concerned but every dollar feels like it counts right now.
it is slightly less than some other programs but doesn't make a meaningful difference. if it's that important to you, don't apply there
the salary is roughly 95K -> 100K -> 105K during your 3 years on nyu salary
I have an NYU rotation in September looking to switch to November or later text me 985-807-7676
what type of voodoo manifestation do.i need to do to match NYU (im mid and slightly awkward)
https://youtu.be/4HdQi25hVaE?si=M_j5uEg29TUkkSyd&t=27
get cracked
go to their med school and prematch as an MS2
they prematch ms2s?
yeah they have the 3 year residency pipeline program where you apply for residency early before matriculation / during m1 / during m2
Would someone like to switch with my NYU rotation in October? Looking for either September or November!
yes text me 985-807-7676!!!
Which derm programs have the best cosmetics training? I've scoured some of the past sheets/SDN and sometimes UCI, Kaiser LA, and Samaritan are mentioned. Any others?
saw in previous sheets that cosmetics were top-notch at nyu, especially compared to other t5s
Yes for UCI and Kaiser LA! I'm not familiar with Samaritan
anyone know what nyu is looking for in applicants? it's my dream program but i don't have any connections
Idk what they are looking for, but the residents seem so happy esp for a t5. one can dream sigh
PSA, there are some programs like NYU and Stanford that are not on VSLO, they have their own sites for aways. So if you're really interested in a specific program, look up what system they use for away applications, dont' assume it will show up on VSLO unless that's what they've been doing every year
Stanford is on VSLO they are just done taking apps. I believe NYU also already closed
when will nyu decisions be out? have ppl heard?
got an offer from NYU but in november they say interviews aren't guaranted do people still usually get interviews
would you be willing to switch your NYU in november to september text me 985-807-7676
anyone hear from NYU?
Are the T5 programs equal in impressiveness (UCSF = Penn = Harvard = NYU = Yale/Stanford) or is there an internal tier difference with one group being significantly better than the others?
The best one is the one you like the most (+/- the one in the city you like the most)
This obsession with T5s, jeez. If it makes you happy, great! At the end of the day you will be a dermatologis though. People from not T5s end up as faculty at T5s all the time, and many T5 residents end up going into private practice.
when people say t5 programs, are they referring to doximity lists (penn, ucsf, harvard. nyu. yale?)
yes, stanford in there too. there are really 6 T5 programs.
if you care about prestige... i wish you well
nyu just announced a pay increase fml
how much?
almost 10k for a pgy1
where did you find that?
friend is resident in different specialty
what's pay for pgy2 now haha
Loveee seeing my top choice program get bashed on here because I absolutely loved my away there and it's in my favorite city <3, I appreciate you guyss
