3 entries❌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.

Local program, good volume, mostly bread and butter, not a lot of specialized stuff. Decent inpatient component. 1 Mohs surgeon. Medium hands-on experience.
