do derm programs forbid their residents from doing a residency at a TY? Is that a thing?

#4168Mar 22

they can't

Mar 22

they frown upon it, but no they can't stop you

Mar 22

most derm programs don't even frown upon it. My T25 derm program actively encouraged me to do a TY.

Mar 22

I am sure you are at a good program, but there is no such thing as a T25 as there are no respected rankings that are so granular. There is the T5ish, then an additional 5-10 places that people call "T10" because they are just barely outside the t5, but people debate how they compare to one another. That's it, don't quantify. Congrats on the match! Sounds like an awesome program

Mar 22

Of course there are top ~25 programs, and I guarantee that the one I matched into is one of them, based on discussions with "T5" mentors and placement of residents who come from my new program.< someone salty they arent in a t25

Mar 22

Not salty at all. Matched a "T5 vs T10," I just think using these b.s. rankings outside of Penn, NYU, Harvard, UCSF is dumb

Mar 22

< lurking M3 here. Are NYU and UCSF actually better than Harvard and Stanford?

Mar 22

no. Any of these 4 as well as many more academic programs will set you up for any career you want. x2< I want to know which one of these has the best clinical training, or is Penn better than all 4?

Mar 22

splitting hairs< I would say NYU and UCSF are a tad strongger clinically because of the time spent at the VA and County hospitals = more autonomy but all will set you up nicely. Harvard doesn't have a real continuity clinic so docks some quality there but Stanford is the weakest of all 4.

Mar 22

M3, why don't you apply to them and see where (if any) you are offered interviews before splitting microscopic hairs. X2 There is no difference between these programs, and many more, in terms of what you can do after residency. None.

Mar 22

this is not true. Within top 4, there is a pretty clear pecking order

Mar 22

Spoken like a true med student. You will not be limited in your career by attending any of the top ~25 academic derm residencies.

Mar 22

upenn is the best program on the east coast, ucsf on the west coast< THANK YOU!

Mar 22

< You guys are missing my point. I wanted to know if NYU and UCSF have better clinical training than Harvard and Stanford. Not if they will equally set me up for a career. Is Harvard the best program? Why is this so hard to answer?

Mar 22

i'm super confused why so many people here seem to hate on yale compared to the other top 5s...it was my dream program and i ended up matching at another "top 10" but i'm still pretty bummed. even though new haven isn't exactly boston or new york, the residents at yale are consistently the top scorers on boards and more PDs have come from yale than anywhere else. not that harvard, NYU, Stanford, UCSF and Penn aren't great too, but i think we're doing a disservice by not consistently including yale with those programs. still wish i could have been there!!!!

#4072Mar 22

piggybacking off of the mohs question below... which T10(s) would you go to if you secretly want to do mohs?< can this be answered for cosmetics too (please exclude NYU)

#3560Mar 22

Does anyone have information on benefits provided to NYU residents outside of salary? > institution wide NYU does not have great salary/benefits. still good clinical training though!

#3493Mar 22

When NYU said no thank you notes/emails, does that apply to LOIs? Sorry if this has been answered already

#3446Mar 22

I just found out Dr. Pimple Popper went to residency at Southern Illinois University or something and now realize that none of this matters b/c where you go for residency doesn't even predict your future success lol > dermies can make anything happen > yeah i think people are obsessed with reputation on this spreadsheet which is so interesting, it really doesn't matter some of the most famous academic derms didn't all come through Harvard/Penn/NYU x3 dont tell that to the same 20 people clogging up this spreadsheet with questions about the same 3 programs lmfao!

#3439Mar 22

I know you guys are tired of us talking about T10s. So sorry. But I want to know for peeps who interviewed at both UCSF and NYU... how did you make the distinction?? Tons of NYU #1's so I am a little curious.

#3336Mar 22

Which T10 programs have historically done RTM calls (or equivalent)?<Stanford, UCSF, NYU<Yale, but they usually do it through residents)<<matched nyu resident here, can confirm i did not get a RTM call, and matched. they did not do them nor do they historically do them. this is false.

#3335Mar 22

Do you think that it's a big negative if a program doesn't have an academic half-day per week? I was surprised that NYU doesn't< yes, having those half days is amazing

#2933Mar 22

Difference between Harvard and NYU?

#2897Mar 22

anyone get a weird vibe from some of the NYU faculty?

#2873Mar 22

Anyone remember info about the NYU interview...rotations, pay, etc. <<on that note is there anything bad about NYU? was really impressed by the program and wanna know if theres anything concerning about it

#2867Mar 22

Does anyone know if NYU ever lets candidates know if they are RTM?< 1/14 NYU interviewers, what did you think about NYU?<solid program<matched resident here. they dont.

#2828Mar 22

Why are you gunners always deleting sh*t!!! HARVARD was awesome. Don't believe the lies on the negatives on the interview impression sheet!<Classic comment from someone gunning for stanford/ucsf/nyu :)

#2772Mar 22

For those who interviewed at Harvard and NYU do you think the experience of 1 year at bellevue and 1 year at the VA over the 3 years makes the clinical training stronger vs the 2 month VA time at Harvard? I know VAs give tons of autonomy and I imagine Bellevue autonomy is similar. Thoughts?
