Does anyone know about the Minnesota away rotation? Haven't heard much about it in terms of experience, getting interviews, etc.

Wanted to see if anyone did an away at the following institutions and has heard anything about them: UCSD, Brown, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, UTSW
Rotated at UTSW and could not have had a more amazing experience. They offer 3 tracks: rheum derm, vulvar derm, and dermpath (this may have changed). All tracks give you experience at general Parkland clinics. Residents are a major, major strength of this program - they went out of their way to be welcoming and treat you as peers/equals. Faculty are some of the foremost experts in their respective fields. Tons of opportunities to see patients on your own, present, and write notes. Everyone has their own unique experience, but myself and my co-rotators did not experience ANY of the negative things highlighted in the shame tab. Dr. Mauskar specifically went out of her way to be welcoming and kind.

Looks like Minnesota Med-Derm sent thank-you letters to some candidates, but I didn’t get one. It was my top choice… so sad :(
