Is rush a good program? I heard that one of their recent grads is faculty at UCSF.

Rush gets great spine training. Traynelis and Fessler are legends. Even with Fessler moving more toward lab work nowadays the connections from those two are invaluable. Residency there can set you up for any spine fellowship and academic spine position in the country. Tumor research is lacking and unless your interests exactly align with their chair's then you would likely be relying on some sort of collaboration with Northwestern. They have a decent functional/skull base/vascular experience, but by far the draw for them is spine, everything else is average.

In Chicago the "best program" is purely a matter of preference: Rush if you want more operative, trauma, spine, NW if you want more tumor, NeuroOnc, basic science research, etc.
