My other thread about work life balance got me curious. Which residency programs are known to be the toughest in terms of hours, call, patient load, etc.?
While applying for programs I noticed a correlation with programs that gave a multiple choice test during their interview as being lower tier but also one of the programs where they pushed over the 80 hour maximum limit.

Anywhere that oft employs the euphemism "you learn a lot."Which east coast programs are known to be tough? NYU? MGH? Hopkins? Yale?
My impression is that of some of the East Coast "top schools" Yale is one of the less scut/overworking oriented. My friends in the medicine program always talk about how warm everyone is. I feel they leverage their strong funding to get more people to cover the same amount of work other programs would and instead direct their residents' time towards research/academic matters (if you like that stuff).
