Hey guys,

I'm having a little trouble figuring out which Anes-CCM programs to apply to. The Anes-CCM presence at my home institution isn't huge just yet (they are working hard to strengthen), so I'm having depend more than I like on word of mouth from some of our cardiac guys.

I was wondering if some of you more experienced folk could tell us a little about what you have heard about some of the following Anes-CCM programs. My main questions are just what you have heard about their reputation, what they are good at (which ones are known for great cardiac training vs transplant training, which are known for being research heavy, etc).

I already know my top choice programs (Stanford, UCSF, UW, UPMC), looking to round out my list. The main things I am looking for is good, balanced training and an educational environment. I like MICU patients and def want to get 1-2 months of MICU experience, or experience seeing MICU patients in a med-surg ICU. I don't think pedi training would add much, looking to avoid that. Also, would love to know what names carry in the CCM circle, as I may end up going abroad and a good name matters for a lot out there.

- UCLA
- UCSD
- OHSU
- UAB
- UPenn
- Emory
- WUSTL
- UMich
- Chicago Programs

Thanks in advance for your help! Feel free to PM if you prefer.

If you get PM's, pasting them here (anonymized, of course), would be great for future applicants.

I strongly advise you not to do so. Otherwise, people will just stop answering PMs.

Genuine question: why?

If the OP reposts everything without attribution, who loses? It saves folks coming on here and asking the same question in short order, it helps all applicants rather than the one person who posted the question, and would ultimately force programs to raise their game (or would at least save applicants from a surprise after matching).

Here's a thought, apply to them all (the cost is negligible), and see who offers an interview (that's the expensive part). We have a few locations in common, we can compare notes.

PM's are meant to remain private. No exceptions.

What about werewolf, SDN's classic game of deception? 😀

Because anonymity is assumed in PMs for a reason. Pasting certain things from PMs in thread could lead to programs or individuals being singled out for certain things that they might rather keep private. Hence private message. There are many situations in which being perfectly open and honest is much easier in a private conversation.

You should look at Michigan. Outstanding autonomy and great cases. One month MICU is mandatory, and can do more. Several fellows in past years got numbers for advanced TEE cert. A huge name in ECMO circles.

Understood. Thanks to all. I'd just seen Arch and others repost people's thoughts (with permission) on other topics.
