Curious MS3 here...
1) Does the quality or perceived quality (i.e. brand name places like Mayo) of an FM residency strongly influence what kind of job one can get? For instance, let's say I'm looking for that sweet suburb spot with very few medicaid patients...I imagine this is a hard market to break into because there are established practices with people who like their jobs (perhaps I'm being naive and feel free to correct me)? Is it easier to get access to these job markets if you are coming out of a more competitive residency?
2) How does one "rate" the residencies in FM? Are your typical Mayo, Stanford, etc. competitive for quality or brand name? Are some community program actually perceived as much better in the world of FM because of training quality?
I appreciate any insight, thanks so much!
