Solid chairman. Staff is excellent to learn from and all trained in top residencies and fellowships. All the subspecialties are covered.
Didactics / Teaching
Lots of resident on resident teaching...which may be a good thing in the end. Everyone's well prepared for the boards.
Operating Experience
Excellent variety of cases...especially the bread and butter. Strong trauma training.
Clinic Experience
See a lot of the general stuff that's out there as well as a lot of the "crazy" stuff (advanced stage tumors, significant deformities, etc)
Research Opportunities
They are there, and the situation's improved since I graduated.
Residents
Well rounded, diverse group of people.
Lifestyle
2nd year is the worst by far, only to get significantly better as a 3, and then it's ~7 calls a month from home as a 4 and 5. Not bad.
Location / Housing
NYC is a hop away. Can't beat that.
Limitations
The program director has been very receptive to the needs of the program, as you can see above. In one year, we have addressed many of the shortcomings noted in the previous review. While this program, like all, has areas that can be improved, it is obvious that the administration behind the University of Florida program is committed to addressing those deficiencies quickly.
Overall Rotation Experience / Conclusion
Overall excellent training. Graduates go on to top fellowships, and are well prepared for them.
