A few thoughts re. yr inquiry: crude ranking:
1brown
2boston medical ctr
3mass general
4bi
5baystate
6umass
if baystate wasn't in fricking springfield, it would be in the top two.
boston med is 2-4; but a great program.
of all the boston programs, they are the true EM docs...
mgh is pretty new, and i've heard, can be
pretty malignant--i don't know that it's anything special, except in name.
brown has a great rep, you work hard, high volume
baystate: friendly 3 year program in an unfortunate location, perhaps a bit weak academically
BI--spanking new ED with some big names attached; sadly the hospital has a cashopathy, and also i've heard that the patient volume and diversity is a bit weak
nice 3 year program with optional 4th year
umass: i've heard you have to spend way too much time on lifeflights (helicopters); man do those things have crappy safety records (also questionable return on our healthcare dollars, but that's another story)
anyway..take these impressions with a few grains of salt...a lot of this is just word-of-mouth kind of opinions that I'm repeating
