Go to scutwork.com and read about the Program.

scutwork has no reviews about this program.

You will realize after the interview...best review ever! .... reviews are very subjective and old in scutwork.... in scutwork: AMGs' perspective, altough interesting, is sometimes different from ours, since AMGs rate lower programs were IMGs are (as a criteria, often but not always, though). And we, IMGs rate higher were AMGs are...so your impression during the interview is going to be the most important.... Some programs have 2-3 stars being apparently good programs, just based on someones point of view. For example Jacobi has a brand new hospital with excellent fellowship placement, Cook County has a new hospital and seems to be a good program, etc...)
you can ask residents during interviews:
research opportunities,
work load,
teaching
But the MOST important criteria is: fellowship placement (if u are interested in any). It reflects research opportunities, and streght of contacts (future LORS) "who you know".
Usually programs give lists of where their residents have matched for fellowships, along with all the information you need, besides what is already on their webpages.

i totally agree with prueba on his views on scutwork...i dont think i can base my judgement abt a program on the basis of wht some ONE or two has said...and tht too 2-5 years back...go to the interview with an open mind...and take in whatever it has to offer...goood luck evry1
