Hey everyone, please post impressions of the program info sessions that you attend during the symposium this weekend! Would be a great way to coordinate since we all got so few.
I just got out of MGH - obviously research is unparalleled, chances for an academic career are fantastic. Residents/faculty have clearly heard about concerns regarding operative volume/autonomy, and it seems to be an area they are focused on. Cons: mostly only rotating at MGH so will miss out on community/public safety net hospital, little time spent at Children's, q5 in-house call as a senior. Clear preference for tumor work, which can be a pro if it's your interest.
