I did my residency from this program and graduated recently. Sad to say but I will not recommend this program to people looking for good future prospects. It is a big hospital but residents do not manage all the patients, almost all patients are taken care by hospitalist who only seldom ask residents to be a part of team. The teaching rounds are conducted by attendings who themselves do not admit the patients to residents. On an elective rotation residents are thought to slow down the clinics and the attendings encourage residents not come to their offices. Consults are rarely offered to residents. Yes residents are happy here as they have a lot of free time to socialise. I think The AMG rank this specific program to have a easy residency life. Residents are only encouraged to pursue primary care.

docprimarycare 1:
that was also useful. The most important information is the one provided by a resident out of the formal meet on day of IV.
