I got my #1 NYU/North Shore! Anyone going to North Shore in July? I'm trying to recall the details of the program.
I was told at the interview the salary starting in July 03 will be $47,800 and $1,800 housing stipend if they can not offer you an on-campus apartment (pretty nice housing). I don't remember if meals are free anytime (or just when on call). Generally, schedule is not bad, facility is 2nd to none, support staff is excellent and has great attitude (this is one of my pet peeves).
Don't remember what is expected on the weekends.
They have a huge research facility on campus and I got the impression during the interview that there were ample opportunities for clinical and bench research. However, the scutwork.com review rate research as so-so. I wonder how easy it is to get into research projects.
Fellowship opps? From what I've heard, it appears not to be an issue. They have fellowships and gives preference to their own grads. Rep is good enough to get outside fellowships.
If my impression of the program is true, for my needs, it's the perfect program. Pleasant place to work. Many niceties make residency bearable. Will become a competent internist without being overworked. Substantial chance of getting a fellowship. It's like having your cake and eating it too. (I hope).
If you know about this program, PLEASE comment.
