Hi,
I interviewed there last year for 2010. The Div Chief Dr Friedman is regarded as one of the pioneers on dialysis in this country, he is up to retirement. The PD has an advanced degree in epidemiology and several publications in clinical research, his name is Dr Salifu unfortunately I did not meet him.
Program is very clinical and very busy I even think second years take calls also.
The hospital is an old one and the atmosphere is typical from NYC based programs.
Inbreeding is an issue , all the fellows I met that day were from SUNY downstate.
I ranked it quite low as I had better options for me and I do not know where they ranked me if they did it.
Hope this help

Dear County, USF Tampa is very impressive.

And it's in Paradise. Water and palm trees everywhere.

Highly recommended.

What about Texas A and M ?
The town is very safe and green. it is located between San Antonio, Houston and Dallas.
Although it is not famous outside of Texas, i found it very strong.
Has senoir attendings and a nice PD.
As a first year: 6 months consults and 6 months in Transplant.
in the second year: 6 months basic research and rest are electives.

I like this place, but I am not sure if I should rank it before Drexel or USC in LA ( where they have a biger name ).
 
Can anyone help with the list?


University of chicago
University of St Louis
uab
UT san Antonio
tufts

Those are all great programs! I think I remember you saying in a previous post that you would prefer a program that also provides good weather. That being the case I think UTSA and UAB would climb to the top of the list. U.Chicago is probably the strongest academic program on the list along with UAB.

Taking into account weather and academics I would rank the programs.

1. UAB
2. UTSA
3. U. Chicago
4. Tufts
5. U.StL
 
Please help with my rank list,
Hopkins, duke, nyu, UPMC, mayo, northwestern, stl, UTSW, university of southern california.

Thanks :)
 
I guess since others are asking for help i'll do the same.

UPMC, Northwestern, U.Chicago, OHSU, Washington, Colorado, Emory, Vanderbilt, Mississippi, UT-Memphis

You can certify the list as many times as you wish each time you make a change as long as it is before the deadline.

Any one has ideas about Drexel ?

It is very busy program, but you will be very well trained as a clinical nephrologist.
The fellows are happy about their training.
I think more changes would be coming soon after having a new chief division.
The only thing I don’t like about, it is Philly….
 
Could anyone post details about North Shore LIJ Nephro program in NY. From the interview it seems the Faculty are good. But there was no tour of the facility/units or interaction with the Fellows. So I find it very difficult to assess the program.

If any one know further details of the program, please post. Thanks.

One word: Weird

Why would no one take you/introduce you to see the facility or the fellows?
 
Good luck everyone-I'll see you someplace soon.

Congrats to you!!

My rank list

USF Tampa
USC
UCSF
OHSU
U of Arizona
U of NM
San Antonio
U of MN
UCLA-Olive
Mississippi
Memphis
LSU

I initially accepted and then skipped out on Lennox Hill, Stony Brook, Beth Israel, Vermont, and New Hampshire. Too chilly-I like wearing shorts/t shirt and working out almost everyday. To be the best, you need mental AND physical fitness. Plus-you just plain ole look good.

Good luck everyone-I'll see you someplace soon.

it looks strange to me, having USF before UCSF or San anotnio?
would you explain why?

good luck anyways.
 
Do u mind sharing your ideas about U of NM ( New Mexico )

They interviewed very few people.

+
I think it is a good clinical nephroogy program.
Fellows are happy.
they have 8 fellows in total which is a large number.

_
They are looking for a chair
Next year will be a nice junior program director

The city is nice and warm

I am not sure how much those changes will affect the program

I think that is a great list. I am also surprised to see UCSF down at #3 on the list and Tampa on top.
 
Would love to get some feed back on how people would rank these programs

UPMC, Northwestern, U.Chicago, OHSU, Washington, Colorado, Emory, Vanderbilt, Mississippi, UT-Memphis

I know you've asked this before Neph, but I can only give you opinions on OHSU, Mississippi, and UT Memphis.

Good luck Neph2011. It's not easy to pick from a list like yours nor to rank it. First Q to ask yourself-community or academics. If community, most will get you there. If academics, go for the well known places like Northwestern or Emory. But be ready to work. I know from meeting people that Emory is a busy busy place.

Peace...

Thanks homey. I'm glad I don't have to rank anywhere. So much stress. and even then-you're not sure of where you are going.

May be you are right about UCSF, but still I think, and from the NRMP website, all the spots they have are for research track, not clinical.

enjoy Dr. Durr, he is very nice guy...:)
 
UCSF is interesting.

If you you're having trouble spelling TEXAS correctly then I'd advise you stay away from the programs in that state. :laugh::laugh:

Kidding aside; those are all great programs. I can only comment on Vandy which is a great program. I think UT-SW is a great program as well and i'd assume most others would agree that those would/should be your front runners.
 
Can someone please help with my rank order list? Thanks!

Simple question
After we certify our ROL, do we need to do anything else ?
 
Hope every one good luck. Please rank those programs from your prospective.

University of clorado
UT southwesteren
Cedar Sinai LA
University of maryland
San Antonio
Tulane
Emory
 
All the best to you guys. Hope everybody matches in their dream programs and ALL are happy. Thanks to all the contributors and the seniors of this thread (eg Pedronavoja) for making it a useful platform for discussion. I sincerely request people to come back to the forum after the match day and at least put matched/not, which State, how did u rank the program in ROL.

Good luck, and sit tight for now!
 
I want to know if you did or didn't get in...maybe we can brainstorm on how others can get in also.

Please post...and GL today!
 
Since I started the thread this year, I decided to post my match result first!!!

Matched in my number #2 in Philadelphia, glad to stay back in Philly for another two years.
