In the interest of saving everyone money - MS4 - do not apply to NYMC as they are not allowed to accept 4th year medical students only interns and residents

Are you sure you don't want to apply to BU? They are both very suppurative and have awesome health insurance

The 3 is such a turnoff, even if the last 3 years aren't binding. x2

That's the crazy part -- even if you yourself are invested into an academic 3 program, they say that later if they are not able to accomodate hiring additional faculty, they'll just drop it & you're released after 3 years. Shouldn't that detail be ironed out BEFORE starting a program like this? Doesn't seem like much of an investment by the faculty into resident development.

Yeah, it really says something about their ability to retain residents as faculty..

Hey, mods. For the sake of accuracy, can we get rid of New Mexico and Vidant Medical Center/East Carolina (both listed as "incomplete registration" under ERAS). Thanks!
