Respect.

PROS: plenty of residents work on weekends (admitted kids don't just go home for the weekend, so they still need docs around :) and because there is more flexibility in schedule, there are actually MORE residents around to talk, per interviewee. I interviewed on a Saturday and loved my...

1yr ago I was in the same shoes.. UCSF or UCLA #1- specifically UCSF or UCLA CHAT program. UCLA was solid at #3. Ended up switching these top 2 three times in the last 2 weeks- they were that close for me! Similarities- multi-site gives you broad training, exposing you to not only different...

I loved this place! When I interviewed, I stayed with a couple Med/Peds folks who met up with 8 interns/residents on a Wed. nite for dinner. Their interactions together were like high schoolers- in a good way! They got along like they've known each other for 15yrs. It was so refreshing to see...

This may a few steps removed from your question but may be helpful anyway.. When looking at programs to interview/rank I discovered that there were MANY ways to subdivide/categorize programs. Just within SoCal you can easily do this. University hospital (UCLA, UCSD) vs. stand-alone hosp...

you might not know this (but hopefully SOMEONE has said it) but you are probably the intern/resident that med students (if you have them at your residency) really enjoy being around. You not only give the most practical advice in a clear obvious way- but you go into specifical detail as to why...

make it 3 on this thread for UCLA! looking forward to meeting my comrades, altofiend (like the avatar) and mr. annoying (I remember you from the med school app days. I was a fellow 'pull off the waitlist' SDNer... u went to Wake Forest, right?) I e-mailed another guy in CHAT in our intern...

UCSF - UCLA [Community health and advocacy track] 1-2 close call 3. UCLA categ 4. Hopkins 5. Brown 6. UofChicago 7. Northwestern couple others.. would be a happy camper at any of top 7.

..yet now that both sides have submitted, it doesn't matter. hey, does anyone know if it's only a historical thing that match is 3wks after ranking? like in the old days they had to mail it in so that's why it takes so long? I mean, how long does it take for a computer to match us?

congrats Mi- err.. DF! ;) Hope your rock their world the way you want to. Make sure you have that nice overcoat for your trip up there from Gainesville! g'luck.

Lara and I ended up meeting in the 'real world' for our Wed. interview. She's every bit as smiley as her avatar would lead you to believe. :D Great review by superbeangirl.. Little points to add. Tim Kelly spoke about the type of residents that would 'fully take advantage' of the program...

just seconding my interest in hearing more. If you know, DO tell!

Hi there. I am only going to speak on my interview day experience. We (I and one female) were there on the first day of interviews- so just with the two of us, we had a lot of one on one attention :) The residents are split between a fantastic, well-equipped hospital in beautiful St Pete, FL...

el chavo hit the key points. Only a couple to add from an MS4 perspective 1) save time: commuting to outside hospitals or clinics for rotations is ideal from hyde park. In the AM when everyone is driving INTO the city, we are driving OUT of it and the converse in the afternoon. So you are...

12 interviews in no meager number. You will clearly find a program or two that you would be very happy at among those. Besides, you had solid reasons to 'x out' both of them. I'm at 8 interviews (only waiting to hear from 1 more that I'd accept) and I turned down 2 offers for similar reasons...
