anyone heard from U Iowa/ U Missouri -Columbia (aways)?
got an offer (from UM-Columbia) for late Nov-Dec, they said the rest of the earlier rotations are full
Anyone know how many students can rotate per month at Iowa?
If I want to do Mohs what would be the best programs to look into? Ik some "top" programs discourage/don't support students interested in it and it's a red flag to mention in interviews lol. Overall been told to look at programs with a fellowship associated with a residency but would be helpful to know of specific ones people have heard about that are supportive with high Mohs match rates
Iowa, Mayo Rochester, Wisconsin (the best ones for Mohs and surgical and procedural training in general)
some of the best Mohs faculty in the country are at these programs and they have historically consistently high match rates and support
Top programs definitely support mohs fellowship as most of the people who get into mohs go to a relatively top program
i've heard for example programs like stanford, emory, and duke aren't supportive based on the name and shame/why I didn't rank higher so was curious if there programs known to be supportive
some of those you just listed aren't necessarily top derm programs, Emory is in the t15 and Stanford is consistently t5-t10 but Duke isn't t15 but more to your point Duke doesn't have a Mohs fellowship and notoriously some of these programs are more about complex med derm and have picky Mohs teaching faculty
has anyone spent time in iowa city and if so what is it like>what is it like for single person > it's better than you likely think overall (surprisingly charming and walkable center city), but it's a small city, dominated by a large undergraduate population. TBH I think dating/social could be challenging for a single person without any ties there, unless you are ok dating the young ones.
Does anyone have any tea on the Iowa Methodist TY in Des Moines lol, I can't tell these programs apart aside from schedules
Does Iowa only accept internals?
