Why? Carter is overrated.
I heard he was a good mentor figure and provides valuable career development advice for people who rotate at UCSD?
Lol someone should have given him career advice.. Leaving a great program to take over a dying program for nostalgic's sake. Tsk tsk
MGH is a dying program? Since when?
That's preposterous. MGH is not a dying program. The same people who trash a program like MGH are the ones saying Barrow and Hopkins are going to be irrelevant in a few years.
MGH is still academically the best place you can train on the east coast in my opinion.

Lol this isn't the 90s anymore. They haven't been on the forefront of anything in recent history, are losing volume, inbred, and the ACGME took away a resident as a reflection of that. No doubt about it, it had been a fantastic training program. Now, not so much
Doximity profile of MGH alumni H-indexes: #2; 99%ile.
https://residency.doximity.com/programs/...al-surgery
UCSF, #1, and Hopkins #3 on that ranking.
Wait isn't mgh a 3 resident program?????

Good luck! Did you do a sub-i on the west coast? And/or your home program in the bottom list?
My home program isn't on the bottom list. Didn't do a sub-i on the west coast but I thought about doing one at UCSD before I heard Carter was leaving.

As someone with personal experience with him, this is largely false. He plays favorites which aren't picked on merit---just how much he likes you personally and how much you fit into his idea of nsg. To everyone else, he's all talk in the end. No follow through etc.
He's all right but not worth making or breaking your ucsd (or mgh) opinion for.

It was. It is now only accredited for 2/year.

Lol, no it didn't go that downhill. MGH is still the premier Harvard program by some degree. BWH is a solid mid tier program.

I think it'll be a combined program in a few years like Harvard ortho is. MGH already is going to have coverage of BCH which is primarily BWH's turf. Wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a 5 residents/year superprogram.

That will never happen. You can tell by how much they do not collaborate in regards to research. It's pretty crazy, but each hospital at Harvard is like it's own enterprise.
Although, the possibility of a combined program might be as high as it will ever be, Chiocca and Carter being pals that is.
