is northwell DO only?
no theres literally no current DO resident on their website...
<<<Northwell is MD.
they have one DO, founder of DLS
Lake Success, NY
Sentiment score: 5.2 / 10
Applicants are primarily focused on logistical interview details (confirmation emails, scheduling, presentation requirements) and express frustration with the mandatory 7-minute presentation component. While some applicants appreciate the program's culture, elective flexibility, and competitive standing in NYC, there is a significant concern raised about a racial slur incident that went unaddressed through official reporting channels, and the program is generally viewed as less prestigious than top-tier NYC programs like NYU and Columbia.
❌1. Been waiting to drop this about Northwell (tried to post about this before rank lists were due but was accused of trying to manipulate others' rankings): during my rotation, I walked in on a faculty member/resident using a racial slur while referring to my co-rotator. the convo immediately stopped when I entered the room. I later reported the incident through Hofstra's official reporting channels, but nothing came of it. neither my co-rotator nor I ended up receiving interviews from the program (which is whatever). despite the program appearing to have a diverse group of residents, I would strongly caution against rotating at Northwell if you're a POC
❌2. Vibes were so odd on interview day, idk how to describe it but at best people just don't seem to actually be friends with each other, at worst actively dislike each other. Program itself seems fine but I wasn't comfortable ranking it highly based on the culture I experienced that day
❌3. Toxic culture where there are weird vibes between residents and attendings. Residents are treated more like cheap mid-level labor. Teaching faculty are very junior and did not appear committed to resident education, with mostly self-led resident lectures. Clinic volumes are high and seemed more like a private practice than an academic teaching environment. As a rotating student, I did not feel comfortable asking questions because of this environment. My perception was that I would be more of a burden to the resident and faculty for asking questions. I ignored the comments about Northwell in Name and Shame threads from years ago but I wish I had taken them to heart and rotated elsewhere.

lol kelly fraiser on diga>>Is she the one with the whole pay2play research stuff and pumping out crappy research
podcast is run by DOs, so they're gonna support her for representation sake even though the shit she's doing is immoral
do.u think kelly fraiser and her stuff reflect on her residency program at all, like do u think differently of it (didn't interview there, just curious)>> Nah all types of people get into dermatology, don't gauge the program off their residents tbh. Some cohorts attract cringe people others don't.
What residency is she in?
Northwell

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.

What did people present on for the Northwell 7min presentation?
I had a similiar presentation for another program where I presented some of my bench/cool research which the attendings liked
personally I am not presenting anything related to derm/about myself but I feel like you can't go wrong either way!
Ya help - you can present on anything! I presented on myself but we had some people do research and some do more "fun" ones
did u need slides?
most ppl at my day ahd slides

thoughts on plainview TY vs. new hyde prelim?
Did Northwell send more specific itinterary (interviewers/timing, etc) prior to interview day?
No.
Can anyone speak to how northwell interview was? Also, does anyone have an idea of how many people they are interviewing?
10 a day, interview was extremely chill - everyone was so sweet
what about the presentation what's the vibe
Why is northwell ranked so low on doximity? It seems like a really strong program with a great chair.>DLS> newer program that has yet to establish itself. Northwell has hella resources so it might get there someday
because it's a shit program with weird people
what is DLS? Why do you think it's a shit program with shit people?
completely agree that it's because it's a new program and has to continue establishing itself

Any info on Northwell: Forest Hills prelim, New Hyde prelim, Plainview TY?
NS/LIJ has 20 weeks of elective is great likes TY, though ICU/floors/nights you will be working like a prelim with some sick patients. good culture where you don't have to do much scut work compared to manhattan/nyc proper programs (eg no blood draws unless nurses fail 4 times)
I know all the NY prelim/TYs are toxic, but which do we think are the least so? Asking for my rank list
anyone w insight on nassau TY? >nassau is toxic and work you like crazy with EM shifts. ONly pays 57k, the lowest i've seen
What about Northwell: Forest Hills, New Hyde, Plainview?
forest hills elite, love the area, great neighborhood to explore, located where the stadium that hosts weekly concerts, and is train ride away from the city. New Hyde not bad. Plainview is work and costly location for living, lot of private patients you gotta cover
NS/LIJ has 20 weeks of elective is great, though ICU/floors have sick patients, but good culture where you don't have to do blood draws unless nurses fail 4 times (better at NS than LIJ since not in nyc limits) m, but then living location not as great

For this 7min presentation at Northwell that gives you the opportunity to present anything you like - what's the strategy here? Go safe like present research or go all out and do something outside the box O.O. Will the presentation give me opportunity to hurt me more than help me? Am I overthinking this??
only thing that comes to mind is elle woods LOL
no one cares about your research give them an interesting presentation about who you are as a person and what you bring to the table
but I've seen certain "about me" presentations that become very self-indulgent to the point of cringe. I've seen people talk about their cat like that was going to change the minds of the admissions committee.
ok so don't do that??

Schools that make you do a presentation during interview day (feel free to add on): Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Utah, Loma Linda, Northwell, Florida, VCU, Stony Brook makes you send them a 1 minute presentation,
< the idea of doing a presentation on top of the interview day is such a huge turn off to me. Why add more work to an already stressful day.
stony brook is a 1 min video prior to interview day
I'm so stressed for mine
would hate a presentation. feels like they could assess similar things through interview convos and pls don't make me dance for you (although if i had to I would do it with a smile on my face don't get me wrong)
> Honestly I'd be happy with being able to do a presentation. Assuming the program doesn't require you to cover any specific subjects/topics, it really allows you to shine and talk about what you're passionate about. It lets candidates shine beyond their stats or # of research pubs, just as the interview does. I'm all for more of these non-stat driven opportunities to shine throughout the selection process
