Clinically very strong, numbers are high 100s to low 200s, but Ive heard that might come down a little (though I think it will still remain very high). Lots of trauma call, but not too many open globes (which tend to find their way to MEEI). Nice faculty. Boston is a great city. New chair and program director are both very nice. Chair seems ambitious, and wants great things for the department, but I think his hands a tied because of financial issues from BMC. They are building new clinics and a conference center though which should be nice. They have 2 EYESi sims at the VA which I assume they share with MEEI who also rotates there. I don't think there is a wet lab, just a 'dry lab' which I assume is the EYESi. Faculty may not be well-known yet but there are a lot of young, active faculty who trained at big name places (MEEI, Wills, Wilmer, many did fellowships at BPEI), and some are doing nice research now (including the first avastin vs lucentis test), so maybe in a little while they will have bigger academic names. Regardless, they probably will have good connections to those places they trained at. They do decently for fellowships. Recently there have been people going to Neuro-plastics at tufts, BP for cornea, Utah for glaucoma, MEEI for retina, etc so pretty good.
