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.

Thoughts on UCSD? I know it's a relatively new program but very well regarded .

#2442Mar 16

If I'm a student from a mid-tier medical school, it is worth doing the UCSD away? I've heard they are elitist and wasn't sure if being selected for an away means that I will truly be considered

#2431Mar 16

Thoughts on UCSD vs UW vs USC?

#1716Mar 16

Am I crazy for liking USC above UCSD? I don't want to shoot myself on the foot since I am interested in academic derm, but UCSD seems to only care about research =/
