programs to avoid?

[Focus]

Call me a bleeding heart but if residents or attendings are actively providing bad advice to torpedo people's chances I would suggest that meets the definition of malignancy.

I don't have any skin in the game, but uhm these residents seem to be having a good time:

Ah yes, the internet never lies, and people never are fake on social media ?

Note to applicants, look to see how quickly the on-call residents are helped to go home and sleep. Doesn’t matter if its a night float or 24-hr system. A true measure of empathy is that your coresidents want to get you out of the hospital as soon as possible. Post call hanging around until noon running errands, red flag.

Are any programs aside from Northwestern allowing junior residents do the critical portion of complex cases?

[Guest]

Clipping the aneurysm isn’t a critical part. Dissecting to it safely is a critical part. Executing a backup plan when something doesn’t work out is a critical part. An intern can apply a clip if shown exactly where.

As a subI at UT Houston- I highly recommend this program! This place is an operative powerhouse!!

Why did a PGY2 leave Barrow? Looks like he went to New Mexico?

If you are a minority and applying to BNI, please beware!

While that program is held in high regard, they have gotten rid of 5 minority residents in the last 20 years:

1 Black
2 Indian
1 Latino
1 Asian

The word is that they usually pick 1 resident a year to overly critique and harass, in order to get them to quit instead of fire them.

Not true. Very rarely do BNI target residents of color. True, it is a white person's club down there but they really are trying to recruit women and others
