Has anyone had any experience as a resident at Albert Einstein? I'm asking for a friend who matched there. Any info would be greatly appreciated, aside from the info that's on their website. Thanks!

Albert Einstein in Philadelphia?

Yeah, that's the one.

Yeah, that's the one.

Wow!! I would hope that since your friend matched there, he/she would already know a great deal about the program. Or did they scramble there?

It's an "ok" program. I believe it's a PSR 24 (one of our offices is in Philadelphia) and there aren't that many attendings at the program. The doctors at the program are all nice/competent with no "big hitters". I don't believe they perform any major procedures consistently, but I can't say definitely.

I know the residents also rotate through a surgical center. Once again, this isn't a "power" program but should prepare a resident for the everyday practice relatively well.

Thanks! This is exactly the type of info I was interested in finding. Is the program considered malignant/intermediate/easy going? How about the typical case load?
