When you are a resident in a program, its way different than when you are a medical student rotating through. As a student you are there for maybe 4-6 weeks doing 1-2 rotations. As an intern/resident, you are rotating through the different fields, overwhelmed by the patient load, teaching responsibilities, new lifestyle(80hr work week), and stress of trying to read up on all the topics. You get to really see what the program is really like, how they support their residents and whether there really is some malignancy. Why would 2 interns leave that program last year? I also heard that residents sleep wherever they can when they are on call b/c they don't have their own call rooms. That sucks. I'm not knocking their training b/c tough programs, even malignant ones, can produce really good physicians and I believe Emory has good numbers and their residents get great experience. Picking a program is such a stressful ordeal and I think finding out as much as you can about a program is a good thing and what you do with that information is your decision.
