Child fellowship UW, seattle vs WU, St louis

[Haldol Lorazepam]

I'm confused, which one of the above is regarded better for CAP fellowship? Also, location wise? Which city has a better life style? TIA

They're both great programs. I'm obviously biased in favor of WashU (St. Louis), but everybody here is very happy with their decision to come. I love St. Louis - it's a relaxed environment and everything is cheap/close, so it's actually practical to do stuff.

Seattle is also a very cool place to live. Not to counter shan564's fondness for St. L.

UW is probably regarded as a better program by most with a very strong children's hospital, but nothing shabby at WashU at all. WashU has a better overall institute name which may matter depending on what you want to do in CAP.

Sea is a much cooler city to live in than St. Louis. It depends on what you are looking for though. If you want cool/trendy/hipster/tech stuff than Sea is definitely where it's at. COL is definitely higher in Sea though as it is a very desirable city to young professionals while St. Louis is very affordable and still has enough that you would not be bored to tears for 2 years.

Pssh, don't fall for the trap! The Pacific Northwest is a rainy wasteland for like 9 months out of the year! 🙂 The summer here is pretty awesome, but man, 7-9 months of straight rain and clouds got to me more than I thought it would.

I don't think there is a consensus on one of these being better than the other. Anne Glowinski is the program director at WUSTL and an absolute rockstar who makes delicious croissant's. That counts for a lot in my view.

I grew up on the Great Lakes, plenty of good fishing in the Midwest 🙂

The Boeing air museum in Seattle is great. Lots of WWI planes and a P-38. Probably only second to the Smithsonian Air and Space.

Going fishing there soon I hope!

Yes! I have no intention or interest in child, but I rotated in her clinic for 6 months and had a lot of fun! She's also one of the premier child psych epidemiologists and an expert in suicide- very clear thinker and superstar academic physician. She is also very pro resident and a stellar teacher.
We also have legends in John Constantino and Joan Luby. John Pruett does cutting edge autism rs-fc MRi, and Kelly Botteron does some high power neuroimaging work as well. There are some up and coming younger faculty as well.

Couldn't find much info on the program's website. How's the pay like? Any moonlighting opportunitie? Also do u guys have case managers& sw helping with the non clinical stuff such as insurance pre-auth, referrals etc?
