Sentiment score: 3.5 / 10

Applicants mention St. Barnabas primarily in comparative contexts with other programs, with limited substantive discussion. The program appears to be categorized as a lower-tier or niche option, and one commenter made a joking remark about the program name. Overall, there is minimal engagement and no detailed program-specific feedback.

Fame & Shame

2025–2026 Derm

1 entry

1. Shithole hospital system. Residents are so dismissive of students and attendings won't even talk to you. Treat non-English-speakers poorly (most of the patients only speak Spanish) and will not address their concerns, will ignore their questions and just say what they want to say. Despite having to travel to NYC, most of your time there is online didactics. Only have maybe 12 hours of clinic time tops in a one-week period rotating there, almost none of which you get to participate despite being told otherwise. Residents are unresponsive to communication. PD is also kinda rude too. After travelling an hour from NYC to her clinic and doing a required PowerPoint presentation of my choosing at the end of the rotation, was told "okay well we have to do our resident meeting now" and dismissed me. No "good to meet you" or "thank you" or "good luck."

none (not even the "low tier"/"niche" ones like University of Puerto Rico/St. Barnabas/St. Johns) etc. It never happens in derm. The only program that has a special "early" communication to an applicant regarding acceptance is University of Mississippi's Rural Track which the one applicant will hear back MONTHS before everyone else. That one spot is done outside of the match.

Current derm resident from the Northeast - can confirm derm residencies are terrified of recieving match violations and having a problem with the board. It may jeaporaize the program/its accredidation for the following year. " with "Anyone else completely exhausted and burnt out? Interviewing for advanced + prelim + TY is so tiring, extra props to those of you who dual applied. Our strongest soldiers. "

> people are saying that they received calls this year though? >> IF this somehow does happen, DO NOT tell any friends in medschool/others you have come acrss in your derm journey. This is a 1% chance occurence - don't blow it for you or the program. I would suggest you still rank YOUR top programs as you would have ranked originally (aka: pretend you never recieved that call).

Some people are lying to increase anxiety and fuck with you. It's very easy to make a claim on here and get a reaction.

lmao. This has to be a lie. If you know anything about the UConn leadership you know they follow APD guidelines to a T. They might have nepotism and favorites picked out but they don't break the rules.

As a home student, I find it VERY hard to believe the UConn APD would call someone saying they're RTM.

is it worth applying to these programs as an MD: St John's, St. Barnabas, Trinity Livingston, Larkin Palm Springs
