Great rotation lists and rank lists are great, but I want to know:

What residencies have the BEST BENEFITS?!?! I want to hear about residencies that serve steamed lobster ever Thursday, give you weekly massages, pull an Oprah and give you a car, ect.

I selected residency based on the benefit of getting in.

Stanford had great benefits:

• health insurance covered 100% - i.e., no copays or deductible
• free telehealth primary care visits
• great dental (Delta dental)
• $500/month housing stipend
• $2000 moving stipend at the beginning of residency
• ~$1000 educational stipend (iPad/laptop could qualify)
• free meals at Kaiser
• something like $7 for every 10+ hour shift to cover meals at Stanford
• free gym membership

I agree Stanford's were pretty incredible, but I feel like they're very motivated to make up for the high CoL. I think Carolinas had some incredible ones, but don't remember the specifics. You could tell their program had some money though
