Do most programs have moonlighting? Specifically UW (Seattle) and Northwestwern
you can look this up on ResidencyExplorer as well as other useful metrics like average # hours worked, etc.
didn't know RE had moon information! Thank you!!
pretty sure no moonlighting at UCSD

What did you guys think about the University of Washington interviews? PD seems like the most genuinely supportive man I have ever met
Genuinely a great program and faculty all around .
Any opinions on University of Washington?> Cold
With respect to the cell below, can you help me rank the best programs for cosmetics: NW, UW, UCSD, UM, Vanderbilt
Definitely not UW. I feel like programs with most cosmetic exposure (and demand) are in larger cities than Madison WI. I'd guess UCSD probably has a decent amount
UW is in Seattle
I hear NW has a lot of cosmetics but i didnt apply there
lol there are 2 UWs
definitely not UMich, in the interview they specifically cited their lack of cosmetics
NW or Mich probs
for exposure to cosmetics?
UW madison or UW washington? washington literally said during interviews not to go there if you want to do cosmetics, they're very strong in the med-derm arena tho
Vanderbilt interview day said they have increasing cosmetic exposure and the ability to do 3-4 weeks working with someone who does alot of cosmetics.
NW also mentioned strong cosmetics

Wanted to plug that I added in an interview swap for University of Washington (01/31 for 01/28) Thank you if you can :)
University of Washington dropped. x2
did anyone else away + gold at UW and not get an interview?
gold but no away and no interview x5
I literally gave them my heart and soul and no interview
retweet x3
WTFFFFF

MCW UP> gg all, see you at 5:30 for UW madison
Anyone know if Wisconsin is virtual/in-person interviews, website is not specific?
virtual last year
UW is virtual this year
Can someone provide insight regarding which program is "better": UW vs. OHSU? Both are the only real programs in the PNW. UW is larger but doesn't have Mohs. UW also has very little cosmetics
anyone else applying 2/research-track in this post-apocalyptic funding hellscape
Yes....MD/PHD here - we'll see how it shakes out...
See you on the interview trail I guess >lol in the same boat
UW has taken their academic track off and I'm really sad boy
idk how secure even the T32-funded places are, since columbia got their MSTP T32 axed>is this due to our orange man funding cuts?
yeah, his personal vendetta> 🍅🍅🍅(these are tomatos)
I'm glad we're applying at literally the worst possible time, even worse than COVID (I assume you all switched from med to grad school around then too)> looks like OHSU is not offering 2 this year either
