I interviewed at 5 California programs. These are just my personal opinions. I actually, still struggle with community vs. academic issue.
1. UC Davis - Very strong program academically. Wonderful PD. Very good fellowship potential. Housestuff seemed pretty happy. Potential problem - lack of stuff to do in Sacramento. One intern told me "social life is there, you just need to look for it", I am not sure there will be time.
2. California Pacific - too laid back, too many private patients. But both PD and Associate PD are new and energetic. Lots of faculty form UCSF. Here I am concerned about autonomy. They told me "it is there if you want it".
3. Cottage Santa Barbara - again too laid back. Their call is q6, but there is no cap on ICU admits (they have open ICU) and they admit almost every day during the day. Big plus - beeing in Santa Barbara
4. Scripps Clinic. The most formal interview so far. All the standard questions: your strengths and weaknesses, tell me about yourself, the hardest rotation, your mentor, can you add anything else about yourself ( btw, what's the good answer for that one? I still did not figure out). But the housestuff is great. The other problem, they rotate through Naval hospitals. Having had rotations in military hospitals, it's a minus for me.
5. Santa Clara Valley - the nicest county hospital I have ever seen. Good support. Overall, I think I liked this one the best.
I hope it will be helpful
Good luck on the interview trail.
