Hidden gem programs

Ohio state is an impressive program. Great clinical volume, good group of residents, lots of research opportunities between Nimjee, Elder, and Bankiewicz

Other than the places that get mentioned here, there are places that don’t get talked about a lot but stood out on the trail for specific sub-specialties:

Brown - Spine
UIC - Open Vascular
Loyola - SB and PN
GTown - Spine
Buffalo - Endovascular (well known)
Yale - Func

Seconding the sentiment above. If you're looking for specific subspecialty training, the "big names" (UCSF, BNI, Pitt, Mayo) are very good at most things, but probably not the very best at one (barring BNI open vascular)

Nebraska - Functional
Rush - Spine
Jeff - Endovascular
WVU - Peripheral Nerve

The problem with this is that your ability to get significant clinical training in these subspecialties as a resident will vary widely, since most of these places have heavy fellow involvement (like Jeff/Buffalo for endo and Rush for spine). You may actually get more bang for your buck as a resident at a "very good" place without a ton of fellows. Also, Mayo is probably synonymous with top peripheral nerve, and you could likely enfold that fellowship.

The purpose of residency is not to get subspecialty training. That's what a fellowship is for.

Only 4 applicants can match at Mayo. I think it’s worth discussing what’s good about other programs. How are you supposed to make choices about training when this site only debates 4 places

Gonna add UMD for trauma here with Shock Trauma hospital. Also Peds at Hopkins is a nice perk
