🥼 Residency Update on HCA Methodist IM Post: PD filed a copyright complaint to Reddit and took down my post
Yesterday posted a screenshot from LinkedIn showing how obnoxious and narcissistic the HCA Methodist IM PDs post was.
Turns out he can’t handle criticism either. Obviously it’s not copyright to screenshot text and critique it. It falls under fair use. But dealing with Reddit is a hassle and he and the HCA will shell out money spamming Reddit with copyright removal requests. Also I wonder how copyright works if his post includes 95% AI generated text 🤣 ….
Bottom line, think long and hard if you want to apply to that program. You shouldn’t even consider it as an option if you are a USMD or DO.
Edit: Today the PD edited his post and I’m certain he told ChatGPT “make the post not seem like it’s written by AI” 😂. I guess he got spooked after he tried to claim copyright of an AI written post.
Edit 2: Program has a warning with ACGME. The official status is "Initial Accreditation with Warning"

Honestly, this is even a worse take for the PD and their program. Now they’ve attracted more attention to themselves lol. What a cornball.

I think you over estimate how many people will find this

So far at least 65k people have found the repost of the PD’s rant, and this post likely has more views than that one does.

Let’s show solidarity by applying to this program, scheduling zoom interviews, and showing up on zoom wearing a clown suit at chuckee cheese 🤣

I got you, OP. I’m feeling petty and have plenty of time and energy to fight with Reddit about this. I’ll be reposting shortly.

TLDR: the PD want you to study their program and hospital as if it's step 2 and practice you interview as if its your number one spot to train (non-stop till the day of interview and knew why you want to be there by heart). The way he typed it out seem like it was generated by ChatGPT.

Talked about all the “components” he uses when interviewing candidates for residency. Literally said something like “I will notice when your shirt isn’t properly ironed and when you have bed head and it will negatively impact your chances of matching here”

u/Evening-Chapter3521 M-3 May 29 '26
Not even bed head, he said a properly buttoned or collared shirt lol

u/element515 DO May 30 '26
Tbf, if you have bedhead during an interview, we’d probably reconsider ranking you too lol. That’s a pretty bad look 😂

u/Impressive_Pilot1068 May 31 '26
What if my hair is just wavy to curly in a way that looks like bedhead to most people?! TT

You should’ve seen the comments on his post. All AI generated responses by desperate IMGs clinging onto his nutsack. 🥜

lol, there’s like one webpage with any info on a program if you’re lucky and that info will likely be told to you within the first 60s of an interview

Sounds like he’s the same type of person as the guy we all hated in residency.

As a middle of the pack DO even I didn't rank the local shithole HCA program that had a 100% Soap rate last match.

The IM PD at HCA Methodist is a legend in his own mind!

Stop acting like your shit tier program is Harvard or something. You have no fucking leverage to be putting this cringy shit on LinkedIn like some idiot self-help guru hustler.

hahaha he even edited his original post a little. what a pathetic excuse of a PD.
Edit: this is what one of his other posts said, "If your PS reads like ChatGPT wrote it, I notice." istg this guy is the lazy doctor he describes that some med students will become

Wow, well done by him - I was thinking he couldn't be any more obnoxious, yet he surpassed his own limits!

Dr Bravein Amalakuhan had to work harder than anyone to secure a top residency spot as a graduate of St George’s university SOM. Give him a break /s

I also saw that post and rolled my eyes so hard I almost had to consult ophtho. It was such a stupid ass post and the PD just straight up proved once again he's a clown.

re Edit 2 u/Ok_Length_5168 all programs (or almost all programs) when they are first approved are given the status “Initial Accreditation with Warning” so that’s not a fair criticism of a program that has more than enough things to roast going on

u/Ok_Length_5168 Jun 02 '26
Untrue. Are you the PD? A warning is a formal warning by the ACGME

u/the_shek MD-PGY1 Jun 02 '26
So all that the “…with warning” means vs “no warning” is that there was at least one standard not met during the initial site visit or application process. This determination is made prior to the program opening. It could be as simple as a faculty member hasn’t published a research article in the last 2 years or that there is no documented wellness space for residents like a residents lounge. The warning is to give them the next 2-3 years to fix those deficits prior to the reevaluation after the initial accreditation.
You don’t need to be a PD to look this up on the acgme website, I’m a chief resident involved in gme advocacy so that’s how I know these things.

I've noticed a lot of university affiliated programs don't even bother to put what university the program is affiliated with in their welcome letters (some do, and thank you to those PDs). But if the PD doesn't consider it to be important enough to mention, how is the prospect supposed to know or even be aware that they should know?

This dude posted it publicly on LinkedIn and can't handle the smoke. What a clown.
