11) What are the top anesthesiology residency programs?
This thread summarizes the feedback many forum members have received from chairmen, program directors, as well as personal experiences regarding the top anesthesiology programs in the country:

The short list (based on previous thread) basically breaks down like this:
Tier 1 (best of best): UCSF, MGH, JHU, BWH, UPenn, Duke
Tier 2: Stanford, Wash U, UWash, UAlabama, Columbia, Mayo, Michigan, Wake Forest
Tier 3: Beth Israel Deaconess, Cornell, Dartmouth, MC Wisconsin, Mt. Sinai, Northwestern, Penn State, UC Irvine, UCLA, UCSD, UChicago, UColorado, UFlorida, UIowa, UNC Chapel Hill, UPittsburgh, URochester, UTexas Galveston, Utah, UVA, Vanderbilt, Yale
One poster aptly noted that rank based on prestige or research does not always correlate with competitiveness. Some programs are more or less competitive than would otherwise be predicted due to exceptionally good or bad location, lifestyle, and other factors.
Programs with a great "lifestyle":
