US News publishes list of physician-ranked medical residency programs
Thousands of medical students will submit their final preferred list of postgraduate residency programs to the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) on Feb. 26 after a year of interviews, research, and plenty of hand-wringing to determine where they might like to start their careers in medicine.
Stirring up the high-pressured match season a little more, US News & World Report this week published a ranking from the physician social network Doximity of U.S. medical residencies based on thousands of surveys from physicians who have completed internal medicine residencies in the United States. The surveys were sent through web notifications and emails to 18,695 members of the social network.
Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston achieved the top nods along with Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. All three received 600 nominations from the physicians surveyed, and following close in line is the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center.
Each of the physicians Doximity surveyed completed a U.S. residency in internal medicine. Approximately 3,400 responded (18 percent), sending in approximately 2.7 nominations apiece for an internal medicine residency. The survey ran from mid-December to Feb. 10, representing around 1,300 hospitals and every state except Alaska and Wyoming.
Medical students wringing their hands about their futures might use this survey to inform their selection process. But the question remains: should they?
A list like this could easily be associated with other well-known rankings by US News, including the Best Colleges list that many high school students turn to annually. US News’ Best Hospitals ranking also brings huge marketing power to those hospitals and health systems ordained at the top of the list.
But Ben Harder, general manager of health and science at US News, said this list is “definitely not a U.S. News ranking” in an email exchange Friday.
“U.S. News builds nearly all of its rankings on objective quality data,” said Harder. “Unfortunately, objective clinical data on residencies is nonexistent.”
In the explainer piece Harder wrote online for US News, he notes a few problems with the objectivity of the data Doximity collected while also citing its potential to influence students.
In the surveys, physicians tended to nominate medical residencies near their own practices, while the South and West were underrepresented. Respondents were also more likely to be subspecialists and not internists (so it’s questionable whether their opinions of internal medicine residencies is the best source for a ranking).
Doximity also surveyed residency and fellowship directors, whose responses were pooled with the physicians’ at equal weight, despite the potential for bias.
“A few institutions did have three or four who responded, while most had no more than one, so it’s reasonable to take the nominations from that subgroup with a grain of salt,” said Harder. “At the same time, a large majority of nominations for all of the programs came from doctors who didn’t have a personal affiliation with that program.”
So with these data limitations, why is this survey even relevant for medical students?
Harder wrote online that the list’s “insight into programs’ reputations could inform their preferences, particularly if they are concerned about how future colleagues might judge their medical pedigree.”
“It certainly responds to the desire of medical students for information about the training programs,” wrote Dr. Joanne Conroy, the chief healthcare officer at the American Association of Medical Colleges, in an email exchange. “This is especially relevant as they are making their priority lists for submission to the NRMP.”
Dr. Conroy does not expect this list to affect this year’s match season since most applicants have already submitted their final selections.

College Resources(Financial Aid)
Financial Aid
Everything comes at a price and education is no exception to the rule. Luckily, most online colleges and universities today offer lower tuition fees than your traditional 'brick and mortar' campus school. However, even if you were to make the choice to enroll in an online college, the cost will continue to remain a significant portion of the average student income.
The good news is that there are many financial aid solutions that can help you along your path to an education. Financial aid is a great way to invest in your future without having to struggle with the increasing upfront costs of a college degree. Many qualify for some type of financial aid. Whether you receive financial aid through the federal government or through private financial institutions such as your local bank, there should be little trouble involved in receiving the money you need to start a successful path as a student.
Most people begin the financial aid process by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), offered through the federal government. After the application process is completed, you will be notified and either rewarded a financial aid package or denied financial aid completely. If you are awarded a financial package by the federal government it may include grants, scholarships, and loans such as the Stafford or Perkins loans, to name a few. If you do not qualify for federal financial aid, then the next step would be to apply for a loan at your local bank or inquire into the other various federal financial aid and state run programs by following the links below.

OSU Gets First Black President in School’s 144-Year History
Ohio State University (OSU) Board of Trustees chose University of California, Irvine Chancellor (UC Irvine) Dr. Michael Drake as the school's 15th president, effective June 30. Drake, OSU's first black president, will replace Gordon Gee who retired amid controversy surrounding his comments criticizing Notre Dame, Roman Catholics and the Southeastern Conference.
The trustees wanted their next president to have a good understanding of fundraising, academic medical centers, academics and athletics among others."Dr. Drake was the strongest and the consensus candidate," said Jeffrey Wadsworth, an Ohio State University trustee who led the search. "From the very beginning Drake was the focus of our attention because of his experience and qualities," William Funk, the head of a search firm who was looking out for a new president for OSU, abc News reports.
Drake hopes to build on the success established by his predecessors. He considers OSU to be one of the prominent institutions in the country.
"The trajectory of Ohio State and the power of Ohio State are admired and understood throughout the world of higher education," Drake said.
In 2005, the 63-year-old California educator was named the fifth chancellor of UC Irvine. Under Drake's leadership, undergraduate applications increased by more than 90 percent and the four-year graduation rate rose by nearly 20 percent. During his tenure, first public law school in California was created in more than 40 years. He also introduced new programs in public health, pharmaceutical sciences and nursing science. Apart from the administrative position, Drake also served as a professor of ophthalmology.
Prior to UC Irvine, Drake served as vice president for health affairs for five years at the University of California system and professor at the UC San Francisco School of Medicine for more than two decades. He is currently a member of the NCAA Division I board of directors.
Drake earned his undergraduate degree from Stanford University and his medical degree from UC San Francisco.
Gee, the former president of OSU, called Drake "a world-class academic and an exceptionally able and seasoned higher education leader." Drake, who knows Gee for several years now, hopes to work with him on a professional basis.
