Fame & Shame
2025–2026 Derm
2 entries✅1. Super sweet residents, they try really hard to make you feel welcome, the course coordinator and director are extremely responsive and invested in your experience, and they all write nice comments about you! Mostly working with residents and a few dedicated days with an attending 1:1 in clinic. Attendings you work with are also super kind.
❌1. Parking sucks; expensive at main hospital and even then, have to drive around to find a spot for a while.

4. Michigan is SIGNIFICANTLY changing for the better
0
Is it a positive or negative if almost all the faculty trained at the institution for residency (like at Michigan for example)
0
Michigan taking 6 this year (they sent out an eras message before the interview)
0
Is BU only taking applicants for their 6 year program? Any 3 year positions? They are all 3 years positions, the later 3 are not really binding
<--- Yes, all advanced positions are "6 year" positions

not enforceable legally, this has been discussed in past sheets

If you want to take the risk of being blackballed by the program go ahead, but "I'll bring a lawyer" as a contingency plan probably isn't a good idea. The first 6 yr class is currently in their 2nd year of Derm residency.

Wow no thanks. Will not be applying to this program

Again, not enforceable whatsoever. Only affects you if you want to make half salary doing academics versus private practice. All VC funded private empires (dinosaurs selling their established practices) give no Fs if BU is salty about you leaving before doing your indentured servitude years are done.

And what if someone wants to work in academics but at another institution? Oh that's right, you'd be completely blackballed. Keep in mind that any state you go to, your derm program has to sign off on any licensing paperwork verifying residency completion for your medical license. Don't put it past a program to use a charge of "unprofessionalism" against you when they fill it out which then a state board could sanction you for it.

Is it really true Ann Arbor residents contracts have a non-compete?
Mar 23
0
A residency contract is pretty standard/same across the ACGME office for all residents across an institution for all specialties. I don't see how a non-compete would really be relevant in a residency training contract, since you're still in training.

A little dated but: https://hoaumich.org/contract/2013/, "In accordance with the American Council on Graduate Medical Education, no House Officer will be required to sign a non-competition guarantee. Additionally, no House Officer will be bound by such covenants signed prior to or during tenure as House Officer."

I've also heard there is a loophole in that if you fellowship after 3rd year technically, you don't have to come back to the mother ship

Incorrect. According to the website, they say you would do your subspecialty Derm fellowship and then come back to BU as faculty.

Has anyone gotten an interview at the University of Michigan? (aside from the research track reported on the interview tab)
They haven't released regular invites yet last I heard. On a similar vein, anyone get Duke Diversity or Case Western (non-DO)?

Michigan, external, non-rotator x5
Some posts are shown because their comments mention this program.
From their website, it seems like the program is only interested in applicants willing to do the 6 year program
