Not UCSF, Barrow, or Mayo so not good. Sorry

Good job prospects after graduating, poor pay in considering cost of living in NY (except Northwell).

Pros: prestige, connections, living in NYC(?)
Cons: Operative experience, cost of living, nurses/APPs are generally entitled and you’ll have to draw labs/transport patients, etc

If you want to live in an east coast city you’re better off with a Philly or Baltimore program. If I had to train in this area I’d probably pick Sinai or Northwell from what I’ve heard.

I'd hate to live in NYC. Small ass apartments, shit city, shit pay, piss poor operative experience.
