Hey, couple of questions about various programs I have not heard too much about. Basically I am interested in categorical IM with fellowship most likely G.I., possible Cardiology, so I want to go to a competitive program that matches well in house but also have good fellowship match rates elsewhere. There's only so much unbiased information one can get from school websites, so what are your general impressions about the following schools if you have heard anything or have any personal experience. Thanks for the help.

University of Florida- Gainesville
University of Wisconsin- Madison
Medical College of Wisconsin- Milwaukee
University of Texas- Houston
University of Cincinnati

Agreed; University of Wisconsin is a GREAT program. Good research, good fellowships, Madison is a great place to live; I believe it was ranked #1 city in midwest a couple years ago.

I am a current resident in internal medicine program at UAMS. The program is extremely busy and geared towards extracting as much work from residents and more so IMG's . There is hardly any emphasis on teaching or scholarly activities . The program is also very unstable in the sense that residents are constantly leaving and coming and there changes being forced upon residents . The most depressing thing is that several fellows from different university and county hospitals across the country were shocked to see the amount of work internal medicine residents were putting in (or asked to do) at a academic university based setting. The program leaves much desired and if If I were to go to match again, will rank this program much lower. If any prospective US or IMG applicant has a specific question then I will happy to answer to the best of my ability.
The only good thing for visa seekers is that this is an H1 program , at least for now. Also it gives no preference to it's own candidates for cardiology and GI fellowship

Hey, maybe you could copy and paste this into a few more threads...

Stop whining about the amount of work you have to do. It makes you sound like a p#ssy
