Kansas City, MO
Sentiment score: 7.2 / 10
Applicants view University of Missouri-KC's dermatology program positively, with praise for strong faculty, good didactics, and successful fellowship placements. The new UMKC program appears to prefer rotators but is still interviewing external candidates. Some applicants compare it favorably to peer programs like SLU and Kansas, though location and overall school reputation are occasional considerations.
Really surprised that University of Missouri-Kansas City's derm program (new one that entered the match this year), didn't take any home students.
I think their students match well though so could just be they wanted to go elsewhere but you're right
Can someone give me some thoughts and persepctive on Mizzou vs Kansas
Unlike Mizzou, Kansas mostly takes Mizzou people. If you are a Mizzou, you should rank Kansas over Mizzou
is kansas a better program than mizzou?
Why does nobody ever give a real answer about Kansas?
Mizzou and Kansas seem to have similar vibes, but Kansas City is a better location
Thoughts on UMKC?
Ranking it higher because St. Louis >>> Columbia, MO
it's in kansas city not STL
Can we make a list in the cell to the right of places whose derm interview automatically counts as your interview for a prelim/TY year too?
Penn State, Northwestern, Yale (kind of), Georgetown, Ohio State, Brown, Cleveland Clinic, UPMC, UTHSC (tennessee), Zucker/Northwell, Emory, Mizzou, WVU, Dartmouth
wait I didn't know about Northwestern, are we sure?
northwestern med derm counts for prelim.
Penn state does??
yes Penn state does, presented to us on interview day
what about northwestern regular Derm/peds derm> NW med derm counts for advanced derm NW position + med derm position. NOT prelim. You can ask to be considered for categorical IM, but that was not guaranteed by just applying.
Exact wording: "We are very excited to welcome you to the Northwestern University combined Medicine-Dermatology interviews, which also serves as interviews for either the categorical Medicine and/or advanced Dermatology tracks, if you have applied to either of those Northwestern programs. "
northwestern med derm counts for prelim.
Penn state does??
yes Penn state does, presented to us on interview day
what about northwestern regular Derm/peds derm> NW med derm counts for advanced derm NW position + med derm position. NOT prelim. You can ask to be considered for categorical IM, but that was not guaranteed by just applying.
have programs already decided their rank list or does it change during February? Wondering if it's program dependent or what's the most common practice... Do some programs just submit on Feb 2 and don't look at it again?>i've heard most programs rank after the last interview
is this also the case for programs that finish interviewing early on (nov/dec)?
Yes most programs finalize their rank lists the same day as the final interview
What programs are still holding interviews> SLU, UMKC, vandy
Does anyone have any insight on what the program at Mizzou is like? everyone there seemed super nice so was just wondering!
Rotated there - some of the friendliest and most down-to-earth faculty and residents I've ever worked with. Lots of peds derm on the faculty, very welll-rounded curriculum IMO. Columbia is very college town-y so that could be a plus or minus depending on where you are at in life
Very kind faculty who want to teach. They will be having residents go to a smaller town 30 min away starting next year but could be a positive if you like that
does university of missouri-columbia not do a social or info session??
Doesn't look like it
oof... no II from home program
name 'em
UMKC
dude are you sure? I didn't get an official invite from my home program cause they just don't send them to home students. This would be insane
How long does it take for a program to finish sending out IV's?
thalamus/eras probably mass automated email, direct email/phone call can be slower
praying MU and UMKC keeps sending invites
Can we do a tally of how many ppl are deciding to gold vs silver their aways? Gold: Silver:
This will be pointless as different programs have different rules on signaling as an away rotator (no signal vs gold vs silver).
< could we share which programs have said what specifically lol < Henry Ford, UMKC
Is UMKC only taking rotators? < no, but will likely show preference since they know them better, like any residency program
UMKC brand new program, are they only interviewing away rotators and nobody else (I saw this on another tab of this spreadsheet)? < they probably are looking more heavily at rotators but if this is a program that makes sense for you shoot your shot
Thoughts on University of Missouri vs. Saint Louis University?> SLU is in an actual city
Some posts are shown because their comments mention this program.
