Work hard play hard with this one

August 2, 2023

If you are willing to put in the work i would recommend this program as I feel like you can come out of this program being the best if you are willing to learn. Even if you just want to rotate somewhere to expand your knowledge this is the place with a great attitude i think this program would be great.

Favorite Part:

Very academic program with a lot of clinic. Not much surgery students are able to see. No specific improvements

Constructive Criticism:

This is a very academic program. If you are looking to attend didactic sessions 2-3 times per week, 2 hours each

time, this would be a good fit. I did not spend much time in surgery at this program. I worked in the school clinic the

majority of the time seeing patients with third year students. Lots of opportunities to teach students as a resident.
