Whats with the new influx of programs taking 4 residents this year?
There's no way these all have the volume to take that many people, so where are they putting the residents?
These 2 have traditionally always taken 4/year, and seem to have plenty of operative volume left over still:
-Barrow
-Pitt
Some of these places should only be taking 2/year at most!!! Have fun in the research lab. Or triple-scrubbing the shunts...
Or maybe they are all back-filling spots from residents who quit or got fired?
-UF
-MGH
-Hopkins
-Mayo
-Case Western
-Cleveland Clinic
-Thomas Jefferson
-Baylor

Baylor has the volume. Also one was predetermined military match, which comes with its own funding, so PD doesn’t have to pay for extra spot

Back-fill most of those. Hopkins has been 4 a year for at least the past 3 years. Also some programs that go from 2 to 3 a year can increase their resident compliment by getting 4 residents the next year which explains MGH.
UF, MGH, Case and Jeff are back filled, Baylor has 1 military spot, Hopkins has been 4/year for a a couple years. Not sure why Mayo and CC are taking 4, but Baylor, Jeff, and CC all have the volume for 4/year though if they wanted without "triple scrubbing shunts."
I've also heard of other high volume programs like Miami applying to go to 4. It's likely that we'll see multiple 4/year programs added soon.
Not to be a turd (ultimate signal I’m about to be a turd) but y’all are using the phrase “back filled” wrong. When people say that they mean taking residents outside of the match for higher positions like PGY2 or higher. Taking extra interns because of an extra spot higher up doesn’t have a name that I know of but it’s the opposite of back filling lol.
Mayo is now 4 per year.
Checking through the ACGME website can often clarify when then these changes occur.

Lol. Baylor has volume for 4! Best joke so far

Well EVDs, art lines, central lines, and trauma decros do count!

Pardon my ignorance, but wouldn't a high volume neuroICU also mean a high volume operative experience? Or are there a lot of non-operative patients that get EVDs that hang around a while?
The second. Placing an EVD after a surgery is not super common USUALLY unless you violated the ventricles and there was hemorrhage or you did an ETV or something along those lines. In contrast , EVDs get placed in trauma , in patients who develop hydro from ICH that extends intraventriculary , subarachnoids that develop hydro but get cooled, to temporize some forms of shunt failure. There’s tons of reasons to place EVDs that aren’t associated with desireable cases to most residents
