Former subintern here but not the original poster. I've seen Reid bail out an attending who got stuck in a pickle. Next year's chief residents are both fellowship trained and very gifted, I agree.
Fellowship in what?
UCSD has 2 years of elective time
One chief was Teo's fellow in australia (endoscopic skull base).
The other chief did 2 years enfolded endovascular
Not to be a dick, but neither of those confer any operative ability.
With special emphasis on the 2 years enfolded endovascular with Dr. K

I think it's good that residents are allowed to focus their subspecialty interests during training.
Some other programs have their residents get MBAs or spend their time in lab. Those are completely non operative, but there's nothing wrong with it if it fits their career goals.
Any recent or last year Sub i's wanna chime in? Did the new hospital live up to its hype. Also if I can do la, USC or UCSD what order should I put my priorties for applying to aways? Rising m3 right now
Former UCSD Sub-I; I loved my time there and found it to be an outstanding institution with happy, helpful residents and faculty.
Location is the best in the country, lots of clinical research going on, amazing basic science collaborations with Salk/Sanford Burnham and Scripps Research Institute. Strong mentorship at all levels.
Another former sub-I here; I loved my time at UCSD.
ok but saying you loved it isn't really helpful. any real details so i can know how to prioritize it for aways
most interested in those who rotated at all three places: usc, ucla and ucsd. and/or at least one or the other.
no offense, but the above is definitely from just random ucsd insiders calling everything "great." whats great about the basic science collaborations? who were they? you didn't participate as a sub-i so what are you even talking about?
no need to sell me on location, native bred san diegan.
new hospital is amazing and obviously new and shiny. But as for the program, overall mostly great residents with laid back personality. Found a few residents to be extremely negative and high-stress - interestingly, did not find that they were truly friends with each other. Some of them were very rude about attendings and their capabilities which I found odd and a bit arrogant coming from junior residents. Also same residents I am thinking of were very condescending about each other behind their backs. Did not really come across like a cohesive team to me. Volume my month was extremely low and heard from other sub-I's that that was similar to their experience. On interview day, learned about some improvements including the addition of a tumor guy which I think has helped volume problems. It's really weird that nobody comments on volume but it was a major problem my month (double scrubbing the 2-3 cases of the day with the other subI plus the 2-3 residents also scrubbed in - not what you want). Again, I think this has improved so not trying to be negative - just honest. Females have it harder here based off what I've seen, and I've been told its no coincidence that Dr. Jones left so quickly.
while sd is amazing, and I really do think its an up and coming program with huge opportunities around its corner, i think usc is more stable and just overall a better choice for the time being

w.e man-UCSD has 7 applicants this year and 2 will definitely stay at home. It's a waste of time to do a subI there

7??? I met a couple of them. Both are taking a research year. One works with Khalesssssssssi and the other at UCSF. Both will match really really well. Although both of them seem pretty underconfident and anxious to be able to match at a top 3 program
