i can't edit my comment but was being sarcastic w/ the nobody apply comment. the OP sounds a bit salty - not trying to invalidate the stress of RYs especially at a top institution that attracts great students

#25202025–2026 DermFeb 21

not the best place culture wise, longer hours than the rest of the chicago derm programs (Rush, UIC), lack of funds/resources, complex patients with poor medication adherence as it is a safety net hospital, uses antiquated Cerner, on-and-off probation w/ high faculty turnover, genuinely dreary vibes. The cafeteria food is average but there is a pretty close food center across a major road (w/ chipotle, starbucks, pita pita, 5-guys, buffalo wild wings, panda express, auntie annes, and carvel). The good: Chicago, there is a fro-yo spot in the main lobby of the part of the building the derm clinic is in, high patient volume, famous german dermatopathology attending.

heard they DO NOT have long hours, but the exact opposite, not enough patient volume and work a lot of half days because of it (just what I've heard tho)

For UChicago, did they go over their actual curriculum during the interview day? Their website is very unhelpful and looks outdated by at least a few years

UChicago vs Northwestern for an away?

#2172025–2026 DermFeb 21

Northwestern i've heard is a rotation mill

UChicago seems like a pretty workhorse program, only 3 residents per year so I'm sure inpatient is a bit of a nightmare>> Neither. Northwestern is rotation mill and UChicago's PD is weirdo / their away to II rate is low af

For UChicago, is it weird to do a 2 week rotation vs 4 weeks given they offer the rotation in 2 week increments, but you can apply to 2 to make it a 4 week on VSLO? I know weird.

#852025–2026 DermFeb 21

If they offer it in 2 I would think it's fine to just do that
