Tufts and Boston University

Does anybody out there know anything about these programs. I received interviews at both programs and would be excited to live in boston for a few years, but I don't know anything beyond their websites which were both pretty generic. Would appreciate input from any current students/residents/faculty or others in the know. Thanks

hey. i just did an away elective at tufts and can share my experiences if you would like. tufts was very different from my home school, so that in itself was overwhelming at first. however, over the month i spent there, i really developed a liking for the program. the faculty were very nice and approachable. the residents were from many different regions of the country, so it seems like they give all applicants a fair shot regardless of home locale (a bonus for me). starting in their first year, the residents rotate through the various subspecialties in ophtho...i think doing two-three months at a time. they do a three-month rotation at a new mexico va during their third year, but otherwise it is all in boston or close community hospital. hope this helps.

haven't heard from them yet...but fingers crossed.🙂

phillme, you should call them, my understanding is that they may have lost some apps according to res director who I spoke with

thanks for the info

thanks...i'll give them a call on monday.
