wondering why everyone seems to be saying Scripps mercy is the best program for ty? the schedule does not look that great. only 3 weeks vacation, no education time, only 2 electives. yes its in a great area but does that make it the best TY program?

Is call there still q10?

I don't know if it's the greatest TY program, but I know people who did it and they had a good time and learned a lot.

I also rotated there as a med student, the attendings were universally very nice, and the residents seemed well-rested.

Albert Einstein in Philly. 2 months inpatient, 1 MICU, 1 tele, 1 ER, 1 outpatient and the next 6 months are electives. In elective time is 2-3 weeks of scheduled night float. 3 weeks of vacations--one 1 week and a 2 week. Takes 20 a year, though 6 are for the ty/rads combined program.

Overall, everyone is pretty nice and Philly is a great city.

Their prelim-medicine year isn't that bad either.
