UPMC Medical Education-PA

devore did not

devore did not>what did she match?> idk her "match" video told us nothing lol

she matched her home prelim IM (pitt). its on a Pitt IM res IG post

busy rotations = no time to think about match

I'm big chilling, gonna try to get into good shape focus on my health and relax

I'm working on my cut and watching the Pitt (LibMaxxing hard over here)

rewatching heated rivalry (again)

also curious feel like I know the least and the interview was the shortest

yes i know 0

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?

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.

there are no interviews - you are just considered and ranked based on how your advanced program is ranking you

do you automatically get considered for both the prelim and TY?

Do they share every patient too lol> No they just learn almost no dermoscopy and the attendings use their own in the room for the final dx :/

That's fucking gay

which programs provide dermatoscope (stony brook mentioned it specifically that they provide)

some programs only provide educational stipends that you buy your scope with, which is different from getting a whole dermatoscope btw

lol is this Minnesota?> lol no I wish...that just means there are more programs like this out there tho

Minnesota has dermatoscopes available at every site, so the residents are trained in using them. UPMC gives every resident their own!

depends some places like UF and Emory that interview all their rotators have a good chance of matching there because they are very selective on who they pick and they have a good track record of matching rotators, also they don't have too many rotators - Conversely, programs like UConn who have a ton of rotators and interview all of them, you don't really know if you have a good shot, also based on tea on this spreadsheet there's nepotism rumors, research fellows, etc. so your chances at a program like that may be lower and can give applicants false hope

anyone know about upmc?

UF interviews most of their rotators but also interviews a significant amount of non-rotators, plus away/gold seem to weigh less post-interview there. Certainly better than a lot of other programs but there are programs that only interview internals and more heavily weigh away/gold/etc post-interview as well. ^ It's the best when a program is very selective with away rotators and then interviews them all because it means you already have a high shot at being ranked. Places that take a ton of rotators and intreview all as a courtesy = waste of time for everyone and waste of hope.

what counts as a high number of away rotators? 20+? 30+?

some programs take 6 aways per month so do with that what you will

great bc they give you an interview! Not great if it doesn't correlate with true shot at a decent place on the rank list. But there's no true way to know and we will never know how the pie is made as applicants so whatever

. on OP's question, what programs interview all rotators?

where do we find number of away rotators a prgram takes per year?

Reapplicant here, from what ive seen from my away rotations and who they matched: my experience, they definitely take at least 1 away rotator depending on number of spots the program has. If they have internals + away rotators with better stats or from better schools with decent personalities, might not go your way. if you are one of those rotators with great stats and they don't have too many internals then you're in a great place to possibly match there

also depends on how the internals rank them - can't assume that all of the internals actually want to go there

Harbor-

not true. would say it's more accurate to say that all applicants interviewed will have done an away rotation. similar to Kaiser LA

theres a sidebar on some of the VSLO apps that show how many they accept per month, and then from there you can roughly calculate

They were very nice to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

POOP

it was so quick

wish i knew....at least you'll know in the future go you!

emory and Pitt, GW (if you applied to linked prelim-derm), henry ford, penn state

uconn, Henry Ford

oh so if you didn't get uconn prelim, does that mean you probably won't get derm?

Also have not yeard anything yet

Why would you email them twice ?

In case they don't count the first one bc it was before the apd guidelines said scheduling could happen (weds)

i emailed Monday for pitt and am assuming it counts since they didn't say we had to wait x2

:(

a lie i believe

can we just be transparent and stop the personality disorders?

I got an II but internal. I think it's possible only internals heard back today

for Cornell or Pitt?
