Many of the current fourth year students will be doing Ortho Sub-I's all over the country this fall looking at the various aspects of the program, i.e. residents, hours, exposure, # of cases, OR time, faculty, facilities, etc. What weight do you place on each aspect of the program in determining how you rank the program for overall quality? In other words, what is the most important aspect that you look at in a program, 2nd, 3rd, etc.? For those current interns and residents, what is crucial in a program to receive quality ortho training now that you have begun your residency?
I know it has been previously mentioned that more often than not, you end up choosing the program based on "gut feeling." I'm sure that this is what I'll end up doing as well as time draws near.
