aways/rotating @ san francisco programs

I don't think rotating at one place damages your chances anywhere. All the program directors know how competitive prtho is. What you need to ask yourself is what program do you want to be at. I'm a pGY-1 @ st MAry's which I stumbled upon luckily during the interview trail. I couldn't be happier. Tons of volume, tons of operating, tons of specialists and tons of variety without the hangups of a lot of places. Access to research is a bit more difficult than being at a university (i.e. lab space), but most of the PGY 3's and above already have a handful of publications. Check out the website. sforp.org
