I know of a few for anesthesia, but apparently it was a shizshow for interviews in general as well as surrounding their new Brooklyn track.
Elite programs dislike DOs because:
I get that, but not consider DOs for an elective rotation? Is that even "legal" to do post-merger?
Why would that not be legal? What do you think the merger says in the actual written agreements?
How is it that several of the NYU programs in Brooklyn went from all DOs to all IMGs - including Carribean schools? I don’t believe their clinical rotations are any better than ours.
Different PD probably who knows they have the IMGs by the balls. Seems to be a common theme.
Can you elaborate???
It seems to be a disease particular to the more upper strata of residencies.
nothing about the merger has anything to do with medical school rotations
Maybe because IMGs can be abused and worked harder and will never complain, which aligns with the general workhorse and borderline (or actual) malignant culture surrounding a large portion of nyc programs??
Is there any proof to substantiate this? It makes sense.
They will never openly publish this for the public to know, but I know SGU for example pay large sum of money to many Hospitals (mainly in the North East) to take their students for rotations and possibly for residency as well.
I heard about rotations but not residency.
Well, the contract is for clinical training, and I'm pretty sure that involves residency as well. That's why people from the Caribbean usually end up in these areas. NY and NJ is full of IMGs from the Caribbean.
Attaboy RowanSOM. yewwww!
Yet there are many people in line to do residency there. I heard about the conditions but a residency at NYU or Mt Sinai will get your far
You don't actually need a NY residency to practice in NY. Where are you getting that from?
Is that still the rule, given the increased competitiveness of coastal residencies? For instance, it would be very difficult to match in LA city, but usually ppl are told they can do residency elsewhere and come back to LA for practice.
Residency is long, and for a lot of people, is when they start laying down roots (i.e. significant other, family, housing, etc.). Never mind the networking opportunities that come along with residency. I wouldn't be surprised if > 50% of people stay to practice in the same state where they attend residency. I think the exception here is people dead set on a fellowship, because a lot of them are done via a match.
Op didn’t answer so not likely.
Try reading.
To clarify this since you don't seem to understand my post, and probably won't understand my reply. I did not get a chance to apply, thus they did not see my scores.
@risus_sardonicus @ritts Im guessing you guys don’t read either. Try learning. It might help you in life.
Asks for help. Hears things he doesn’t like. Gets angry. Lol
We can read. Your questions are just dumb. Why are you asking why they don’t want DOs. The answer is because it’s their choice and lots of qualified applicants with good step scores. Unlike yourself probably.
I love how flustered you’re getting. I’m not sure if you’ve been keeping up but VSAS has been suspended for some time now and there’s a good chance that away rotations aren’t a thing this year. Thinking you’ll get one in the epicenter of the pandemic is laughable. Why are you taking it so personally that they don’t want you on a rotation?
Don't waste the effort. He will probably just put you on ignore lol. Some of his past threads have followed a very similar track.
We can’t win when someone asks a question and tells us how we can’t answer. Is it even a question or looking for affirmations.
