Anyone know anything about St. Raphael's (New Haven) TY?

[medstudent87]

Apparently my anesthesia interview at Yale counted as my interview for this TY program, so I'm thinking about ranking it. Thing is, I know NOTHING about it. There is very little info about it online and I'm hesitant about asking the coordinator for more info this late in the game. Plus, I contacted her earlier this week just to ask if I was on their list of applicants, and she still hasn't replied.
I'm guessing the lack of online info and difficulty in contacting people has to do with the fact that Yale very recently bought up their hospital, shut down their old website, and gave them new emails.

Scutwork's latest review on it is from 2003.
SDN search doesn't produce anything.

I think the PD only meant that your Yale Anesthesia interview counted for the prelim medicine year. I know he mentioned the TY, but the people he told you to contact are all associated with the prelim medicine year, not the TY. I'm almost certain you had to get a separate interview for the TY.

That's what I thought as well, but I contacted someone to double-check...and she told me that it counted for both the prelim medicine and the TY...

If that's the case, that TY is pretty cush. When I get home, I'll post the breakdown of the rotations.

Please do - trying to figure out how to rank this TY also. Thank you!

They do 13 4-week blocks
5 medicine: 1 MICU 1 tele (step down unit) 1 cards 1 general IM 1 night float
2 surgery: 1 gen surg 1 SICU
1.5 ambulatory peds
0.5 rads
1 ER
2 elective
1 vacation

They might up the electives to 2.5 and eliminate 0.5 of night float.

And the TY's there seemed relatively happy?

Cush?

Yes. They were far from overworked.

Cush?

Compared to a prelim medicine year? Heck yeah. The residents seemed like they didn't do anything. Sounded like an MSV year. Sure it's not 5+ electives, but it's not bad.
