Seriously,
Stay away. I'm not a malignant person on this board. In fact, I rarely post anymore. But, my wife was there for a two week rotation and everyone was very rude to her. It was the longest two weeks of her life! I applied and was offered an interview but denied their request for interview. Their ICU group has essentially broken up, there is one of the ACH ICU groups that now covers General's ICU because the director went to CFalls General, a couple left the group indefinately. "It's horrible down there right now" is what I'm hearing from my attendings and I'm in Cleveland this month! The residents are 98% foreign grads (which is ok if you are a foreign grad). It's VERY VERY difficult to get a fellowship now. Their reputation has taken a big hit! I'd stay away. Let's just say it wouldn't be my first choice!!!
