Let' start a list of really good preliminary medicine or transitional programs. Please include lifestyle, call, electives (call on electives), nightfloat, teaching, etc

I hear that Mercy Pittsburg is pretty good in all these respects with 5 electives, night float, and good teaching. The same goes for one in Upland, PA.

I've heard mixed reports on Mayo Jacksonville, Scottsdale. Anyone have real information on these or the IU transitional year?

Anyone know anything about Scripps (san Diego)?

Good transitionals I've heard about include:
Mercy Pittsburg
Scripps San Diego
Albert Einstein
Upland, PA


Thanks.

PM me your e-mail addy and I'll send you a list I compiled last year of the cushiest PGY-1s in the nation. Also run a search on this topic as it comes up every year. Good luck.
