Any Harvard training program, given enough time will be linked with "elite" status simply because of the Harvard name.
Those applying really need to get over this type of ridiculous nonsense.
In general, the public and medical community don't know what a Physiatrist is or does.
"Elitist Physiatrist" is an oxymoron.
Unless you plan to work in a traditional inpatient setting, you will learn some rudimentary musculoskeletal skills during your residency, but the bulk of your expertise will be gained elsewhere or through independent study.
Your employers, if from different specialties, will have no clue as to the reputation of your residency, or what your curriculum consisted of.
Physiatry is changing so fast with it's scope of practice so poorly defined that your success will likely hinge largely on how you package your skills together and on your ability to market yourself.
