Happy new year to everyone!
I recently interviewed at Mayo Jacksonville and was really impressed with the program. The residents seemed extremely happy, probably some of the happiest I have met. All raved about the program. The faculty are impressive as well. Dr. Murray ( Chair, and co-author of Clinical Anesthesia), Dr. Cucchiarra (neuro, editor of Miller) just to name a few. The faculty I met were extremely nice and many were transpalnts from Mayo Rochester (it must be that warm FL weather). So that being said, when program prestige and rank are discussed on this forum, Mayo Clinic is always listed as a top program. Does this refer to both Jacksonville and Rochester or only Rochester? Being a new program, will graduates have a tougher time obtaining jobs since few of it's graduates are in the workforce or does the Mayo name speak for itself?? Finally, I hear many times on this forum that "program X is too small." What are some of the drawbacks to a small program like Mayo (Jax - 4 residents per year) other than not as many people to socalize with??
