What impressed you positively?:

They don't use the residents as the primary workforce-- CRNAs do most of the cases, so the residents get to pick the most interesting. You never get stuck doing simple, boring cases. Amazing regional. Residents get relieved at 5pm every day-- but because they get the best cases, they also get an amazing education. This is my home school. I've done away rotations at other top 10s, but never met such happy residents or witnessed such wonderful didactics. Duke is seriously committed to be the best in education and academics. (They had over 70 sessions at the ASA conference last year, and every CA-3 has a job or fellowship WELL in advance.) Report as inappropriate
