What applicants said about Univ of Chicago Med Ctr-IL in the 2022 cycle

Can any home students or rotators comment on U Chicago? What's the environment like? Do the residents seem to like it there? I've heard mixed reviews from people who knew the program 10 years ago when it had a different chair, so i wanted to know if it has changed < I'm assuming you're talking about Dr. Shea when he was Section Chief (since Derm is a division of Internal Medicine) at U Chicago Pritzker. Yup, you'd be correct about how it was around that time. A lot of home students at Pritzker at that time (have no idea now w/Pritzker students) as much as possible tried to match somewhere else for Derm because of him, although obviously one can't be too picky with programs in terms of matching into this specialty since Derm is Derm. < TY - this matches what I heard. Is the culture better now? < I mean even right now on their Derm resident page, only ONE of the derm residents is from U Chicago-Pritzker: https://dermed.uchicago.edu/people/ < New PD and Section Chief started recently (2019?), so that would have little to no impact on current residents (ie they just started as current residents were applying)

List of programs where residents are overworked? < NYU < Miami <UChicago < Northwestern U < UTSW < Harvard << is utsw still that bad? <UT Houston < is UChicago still bad? Heard it changed after most of the faculty changed < is miami as bad as people say < Residency explorer from 2020 said 60 hr/ week for UChicago

and just like that ladies and gents, we have a new #1 program. NW was such a delightful experience < NU or NW? < Chicago and #1 program are mutually exclusive my friend < i know, trust me but they are killing me here with how great experience it was < I love a little mugging with my morning walk. < mugging with -10 wind chill on the side < delicious < i feel like we rained on OPs parade a little and i'm sorry OP, glad you liked the program and hope u end up there and love it < kinda like the rain in chicago? < OP: nah they actually covered all the reasons my family is looking at me like I'm high rn after i told them I liked NW so I definitely hear you guys haha < Hopkins & NW are at the bottom of my list for these exact reasons. I choose life, thx < did you also interview at both today? i hated hopkins so at least that part is figured out for me < You aren't getting shot walking around Northwestern. It's in the cushiest part of Chicago. The rent is like SF levels in Streeterville and the most basic grocery store is a Whole Foods. < People must be mixing up Northwestern and U Chicago, very different areas < lol we are not mixing anything up. We know NW itself is in a boujie part of town but people will have lives outside the immediate NW area< outside the NW area is fine, stay away from the southside and westside (not including south loop or west loop)

Whoever keeps deleting shit about derm learning resources must have seriously been hurt by one of these companies lmao < Yeah, I don't know why. I mean I didn't think it was a big deal. Someone was just asking about a particular resource. < butthurt people will continue to be butthurt i guess < haha it just seems like such a random thing to be deleting or upset over < derm applicants are weird af (speaking from experience 😂). Either that or someone has competing interest in another company that rivals the original company < < Would not shock me in the least. LOL. < reminds me of people in my class who wouldn't talk about pathoma around faculty cuz it might offend them < that's too crazy lol <uchicago? < nah further west < Doing it to not offend/hurt the feelings of faculty is one thing. But deleting it for competitive purposes is just weird, especially at this point. < I've been on this spreadsheet since it started and there are some weird fuckers on here who will delete anything for the weirdest reasons. < We should start a new Derm tab which the mods can lock cell by cell (so it doesn't get deleted) of Derm resources for Derm residents. < YES PLEASE. There's only so much of a textbook I can read.

anyone do U chicago's virtual away and not get an interview

Keep getting passed by UChicago 😕 < Bad area x1

well, U of Chicago starts trickling now.....where is mine ugh..

WHat the scoop on uchicago? Anyone know how the culture is? Thoughts from the webinar or virtual away?

what are U chicago's interview dates?

For UChicago, are you emailing ON December 3 or do you think they meant to email BY Dec 3? I have limited access to email on the wards (hospital blocks it), so I would like to email now that I'm at home. Maybe I could schedule it?
