UTSW - good location, but now it's hot; great surgical volume (they say 130, but really 160-200+) lots of autonomy and you work hard; overall - good academic and very strong clinical program.

Overall I got a very good impression of UTSW. It's a big program (9 residents) which was unique and could be cool, as opposed to being stuck with 2-3 other people. Very good surgical #'s, academic, good nice hospitals, VA, they're the only program in the huge Dallas-Ft. Worth area. They are very busy though, moreso than most other ophtho programs they say. It could be a good thing if that is your style. You have to go to Ft. Worth (a 45 min to 1 hr drive) for some rotations but they compensate you for gas.
