Interested in dermatology so here is my dilemma. Is the CUSOM derm affiliation enough to override the DMU reputation and great yearly match outcomes.
DMU
Pros
-Reputation
- matches well
-live in the city
Cons
-harder to stay in Des Moines for rotations
-no “affiliated hospitals”
Campbell
Pros
-affiliated dermatology residency
- seems like good research opportunities
Cons
- commute or live in rural location
Both
-similar tuition
-Graded 4.0 scale with 70% min to pass
- neither are close to home so location doesn’t matter.
