I know it's coming down to the wire here, but maybe a current UCSF resident or two can help me out. Feel free to PM or respond here. Here's where I'm at: got a really good feel on the interview day, training seemed solid, and the residents I talked to seemed very happy. I love SF, and its hard to get better in reputation than UCSF. That being said, I'm having a hard time reconciling all of that with some less-than-savory posts on scutwork. For example, the PD on the interview day showed a graph breaking down work hours by year. It was just about 55/wk for each year. However, the experiences shared on the website seem to be significantly different. I guess what I'm trying to piece apart is whether these are the opinions of a vocal dissatisfied few or if that's more the rule than the exception. Do they just do a good job putting up the facade on interview day or is the positivity actually a good indication of what its like? Would love to hear any other current resident's opinions. Some other questions: it's no secret that the UC system isn't swimming in money. Is that affecting UCSF in terms of patient care or attending/resident satisfaction? Has there been any recent change in the relief system (ie hiring CRNAs)? Any other general comments also appreciated. Again, feel free to PM. I know it's late in the game, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
