Loyola?

Loyola's biggest plus is Dr. Light the chairman. Besides being one of the leaders in hand surgery, he is a huge resident advocate. Trauma can be heavy at Loyola, but you get to do a ton esp. with one of the attendings who rarely scrubs. The other trauma attending will scrub every case but he will teach you great technique (he teaches the AO course). So, you get a great balance while on trauma. Sports was weak but the return of one guy and the addition of another (Friedman) is sure to improve the situation. Joints is solid, excellent foot and ankle guy. No tumor as most goes to U of Chicago. Residents are all cool and have each others backs. Overall great program. I believe they recently added a 5th spot that will be inplace for this year's match.
