I guess conflicts are inevitable....but as much as I would like to go on both, I cannot. Anyone have thoughts on UAB and UC-Davis? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
 
don't know what happened. My post was posted on your visitor's page or something. Here it is again. . . .

Hi there. I did a rotation at UCD for a month because it is my first choice so take it with all it's biases: The residents are mostly happy there. Their curriculum is by rotations as they are elsewhere, the residents don't seem overwhelmed but they are busy for sure. All subspecialties are strong but main attention (famous people) are in Cornea and Glaucoma. Their facilities are in my opinion: great (although was just at Rush and theirs rocked.) Their faculty: great but hotshots so some surgeries are left to them and not the residents if patients ask for that. Clinics are super busy. You start surgeries early in your education, numbers are not a problem. Sacramento is my hometown so I have nothing bad to say about it . .except that you are famous on ophtho forums and I hope you hate it there so I have a chance at matching there. ( = just kidding, hope to see you there and absorb some of your ophtho-ness. oh yeah, have no idea about UAB, did not apply to south.
 
are you choosing between UAB and UC-Davis?

in that case, from what I have heard, UC-Davis is the better place to interview. if not, then it depends on what programs you are conflicting with.

I understand that is not your question, but it seems like that is the question you ultimately want to answer.
 
Yes...I have a conflict between UC-Davis and UAB, so I am trying to get any insight into these two programs besides what I have found in previous posts and online. Thanks for the thoughts minterr! For neuronerd, good luck and thank you for the insight! Hope to see you in Sacramento!
