Buffalo vs Case Western

[Guest]

Thoughts?

Both are in rust-belt-ish cities that have rebuilt around their medical center, affordable cities, super shitty winter vs shitty winter weather.

Buffalo known for endovascular/vascular and is building their overall reputation.
Case seems to do more open vascular / spine and has a slightly more established rep.

Overall they seem pretty similar?

Training wise, Buffalo hands down.

Are you choosing between the two for a sub-i?

Dont forget that Buffalo you have to do the enfolded fellowship to have access to their endovascular at all

That was my general impression? I know buffalo is very vascular heavy period, but the residents at Case talked up their open vascular % a lot. Since I have 0 desire to go into vascular it’s all kinda a moot point for me.

Nope, trying to flesh out my rank list.

Case if you want to be in the shadow of CCF. Buffalo if you want to get all the cases that don't go to NYC.

Buff is overall vascular heavy.  Open % doesn't matter when they're doing that many cases.
