Albert Einstein (Bronx): "blue collar program," work hard, play hard mentality; heavy on trauma; light on research; know how to spell and what the derivation of "orthopaedics" is.
Ohio State: well-rounded program; new chair- nice guy- cares about residents; even as first year Friday morning is protected time where you go to ortho conferences (even if you are on gen surg, vascular, etc!) -- Friday afternoon is OFF usually! Sweet. 3 five year spots; 1 six year. Have one moral dilemma / patient encounter type experience ready to rattle off.
UConn: excellent training; excellent education. Also well-rounded. Faculty almost all fellowship-trained. Excellent commraderie (OK... my spelling sucks) among residents and faculty. Chair is Browner - trauma guy - very approachable. Residents get good fellowships. Most go into private practice. Interview benign.
