anyone know if those calls were basically a requirement to get an interview at Utah, or do some people end up getting interviews that weren't on the call list?

anyone else do the utah call today? thoughts?? > The faculty that called me gave a brief summary of the strengths of their program, asked me 1 question about myself, and then asked if I had any questions. I had time to ask 1 question and that was it, 6-8 minute call tops lol. It was pleasant though, she was nice. I don’t know how much it influences their selection process, but she said they do it because it’s a chance for them to be like “hey, we’re the program you applied to, these are a few great things about us” which I think is fair

Does anyone know what the Utah calls have been like in the past?// I can help answer, basically the PD called last night around 11 and said " U up?" after that they asked what I was wearing and if I was "DTI" Which I think meant down to interview. IDK it was weird <lmfao lets be friendz/ heart emoji

Anyone else having trouble ranking Utah? It's a great program, lots of resources, amazing faculty... but Salt Lake. // Salt Lake City is actually a highly desirable place to live. I know a LOT of people that want to live there, and it's competitive to get jobs out there. // it depends on what you want. The downtown is meh compared to most cities. Also the <1% African American population is not exactly ideal for training / learning SoC // best place in the US for the great outdoors -- You'll be a competent dermatologist anywhere you go regardless of the demographics, people just like to act like unless you see 50% skin of color, you won't be able to treat these patints and that's just not true. Utah graduates do great work including for patients of color and to suggest otherwise is absurd<< I asked the PD about this at my interview and he agreed that it was a weakness. He also said it's ok because they're trying to train dermatologists who practice in the mountain west, and Utah/SLC resembles the region demographically - Also while Utah as a whole is not diverse, Salt Lake City actually is
Utah is amazing!

Utah is terrible. It would be foolish to rank it. Also why are we wasting time talking about non-top 5 programs? --- Utah is solid top ~10-15 program which is still very good even if it's not Harvard. Also Utah is okay, but Salt Lake City is incredible

Did an away and grew up in SLC: If you like the outdoors, then it is a great place to train. People are generally nice. Relatively low crime. Not very much diversity if that is something important to you. Interestingly, one of the largest dermatology faculties in the nation, yet probably the least diverse. You might argue that this is reflective of the population of Utah, but other specialties at the U are WAY more diverse than derm. Some of this could be blamed on lack of diversity in derm as a whole and difficulty recruiting minorities to Utah, but come on... Not a single brown or black person on faculty of 40-50. Pretty shameful. << this. not having a brown or black person as a faculty in derm is not uncommon even in diverse/big programs... <examples?

I'm PGY1, when I search for 'physician only' programs under dermatology in NRMP, there are 29 programs with many active for the match. However, many/most of these were not available in ERAS... what is up with these active positions outside of ERAS? example: Miami, LSU, Boston, NYMC, SUNY, multiple UT's, Utah all have active physician only positions in the match but they aren't on ERAS... (for Utah they just got approval in late Jan from ACGME to add an additional resident to their program, and they're choosing to add it immediately to their incoming PGY-2 class. no clue about other programs though)
Programs know that R positions are lucrative and tend to go outside the match, they know they can remove things from a normal contract and offer less given how desperate these candidates are. Really most know who they tend to take as these are people currently in fellowships getting used as free labor and are the PI of the fellowship year is typically good friends of the PD. They know they can get some more abuse out of these suckers so why not

Some posts are shown because their comments mention this program.
bruh, SLC is one of the most desirable locations in the US. It's kind of like Austin/Nashville/Denver where it hasn't always been a hot spot like Boston/San Fran/NYC, but young people have been flocking there in recent years. TBH though, SLC is still not a great place to live if you are a minority. And don't be fooled by how "progressive" it is. It's smack in the middle of mormon country. Great skiing though. anyone know how progressive SLC is? what is a desirable city for certain demographics may not be as welcoming for others <-- There is actually a pretty strong LGBT community in SLC.
