This is heresay, but a resident who is NOT part of MCW only had great things to say about the program. I believe he spent one of his sub-i's there. Also, its in Milwaukee (sp?) right?

If I had to choose, I would pick Milwaukee over Toledo anyday. I've been to Toledo and it aint pretty.

BTW...I was referring to the city of Toledo. I never had an interview at Toledo so can't comment on the program. Sorry, just wanted to clarify.

I interviewed at both in 2006. I ranked Milwaukee 2nd and Toledo 10th. I thought Milwaukee was a really solid program with a great group of residents. Don't know if that helps much, as I don't remember many specifics, but I remember being impressed with UWM and ranking it ahead of some other really good programs.

The same can be said for UT.

Based on my experience, I would say it's a very underrated program. They operate a ton, with 50% of the cases on the OR board being ortho on an average day. Recently they constructed a new outpatient surgery facility, and a new clinical center was finished within the past year. Also within the past year a new sports attending was hired, and there's talk of hiring more faculty as well.

The only subspecialty that isn't well covered at the university hospital is peds. Most of the bread-and-butter stuff is found at the community hospital the residents rotate at, and the complex deformity type is found at the Shriners in Lexington. While it's four hours away, you won't hear a single bad thing from a resident about this experience.

The worst thing about the program is Toledo, OH. It is very affordable and a good place to raise a family, however.
