Why is Jefferson so low on the doximity reputation list? Is it a bad program/bad training?> no idea about doximity but its an excellent well respected program

Why is Jefferson so low on the doximity reputation list? Is it a bad program/bad training?> no idea about doximity but its an excellent well respected program> another reason why Doximity is bs

I think doximity is sollid for the top 10-15 ish programs but after that it kinda goes downhill and has inaccurate info. For example it says CCF has like 20 residents but actually there are 12. It's entirely based on program reputation so I think after the top 10-15 it's kinda a wash.

I do think Jeffersons reputation has not been as solid the past 5-10 yrs (lost many faculty), but definitely a decade or so ago it was thought of as one of the best

not trying to start anything, just thought it was interesting that 2 siblings who are both re-applicants from Jefferson's med school both matched at Wayne State and don't seem to have much derm pubs or anything, at least from Googling

seems like they were primarily doing neurosurg research lol super weird esp bc they are not from the area

Mar 27

not even weird to talk about because its kinda messed up that people that dedicated years to a field don't match but these two do...unfortunate that they took spots from others

Mar 27

For those who were offered an interview at Jefferson, we didn't need to do anything/respond to the email for scheduling, right? They are just going to assign us a timeslot? Having a moment of panic that I dropped the ball by not replying to the email or anything

Does anybody know if Jefferson do not interview applicants in general or just reapplicants who had applied to their program but didn't match?

#4822025–2026 DermFeb 21

Did anyone figure out how to RSVP via ERAS for Jefferson?

#13742024-2025 DermMar 16

Jefferson/SKMC interviews - we don't have to do anything until dec 1? i'm getting neurotic with all these other programs saying to reply in two days or we forfeit our seat.

#12772024-2025 DermMar 16

i feel like people are putting fake numbers for the internal candidates tab. no way there is that many internal applicants at certain schools...like 10+ from Jefferson? they're a tier 4 school

#4152024-2025 DermMar 16

How's the jefferson and SUNY downstate away rotation?
