Do all programs make the same claims during interviews; we operate early and often, our residents are very happy, and our residents score above the 90th percentile?

It's really frustrating. Maybe everyone should start putting their experiences down so we know what to expect. The residency reviews aren't too helpful since there are so many programs missing.

yeah i actually like how urology match does it where they have have a sub-forum with a thread for each school so that users can have more of a discussion on what they thought of each program. It might help. Usually folks are too lazy to fill out a standardized form.

What about doing it for this year's applicants. We have more than a month before we make the rank list. Any information would be helpful. What would be a useful way to do this without having it too cluttered?

subforum with every program listed as a topic, so individuals can comment under each. This would also be good because it can be added each year and you can see changes

also to add, where you can't make NEW topics, but only reply to the specific threads. This way, you don't have people starting new topics.

The reviews would be helpful if everyone did one for each place they rotated at. Unfortunately, most people won't spend the 10 minutes online it takes to do it. I'll look into expanding the forum in the near future.

What we do at our program is to offer the case log profile of the chief residents for each year of their training. It gives an unadultered view of the volume and distribution of cases we do. It's easy to access and print. If a program is saying how early and often they operate, they should have no problem showing their chiefs case distribution.

heh.. case log means very little... all of this does. A case log doesn't show what you did, if you were first assist, or the guy sitting 4 people deep..

It's unfortunate that really the only thing you can go on these residency interviews is the feel that you get from the residents/staff and the program reputation.. oh well!

Some places have their residents log absolutely everything they do, first or second assist and traction pins, while others just make sure they log enough.
