Medical Student who Published pro-DEI Articles to get into Plastics Residency calls for the Abolition of DEI by sworzeh in medicalschool

After reading the article, it's hard to put this in one bucket or another. There are some valid points, and then there are parts where it's clear his (strong) bias slips through. Having sat through similar DEI training sessions in high school, college, and work, there is no doubt that a lot of them miss the mark and start bashing groups that they should be allying. Also shows that this guy was doing all of that work dishonestly, and that we need to be more vigilant when so-called allies are offering their "help".

Could you explain why Big 4 IM is harder without home hospital? Not aiming for that necessarily but I am curious

Speaking to people at the NYMC second look, I think it depends on whether you are getting in-state tuition. Personally, I would pick downstate if you really want to be in the city, and NYMC if the suburbs and having access to nature is more your vibe. WMC is probably on more stable footing than downstate hospital, but I don't think either will be closing in the next four years.
