I was wondering if anyone has any opinion on Cleveland Clinic's reputation, program strenghts and weaknesses. Thank you.
 
wow, apma77 finally crawls out from whatever rock he was hiding under.... j/k hope ur intern year is going well. 😎
 
Not considering the weather or the city where these programs are located, which of the following -- CCF, Vandy, UF, Hopkins, Univ of Maryland, Case Western -- would you rank higher based on reputation and program strengths? Thank you.
 
I to am seriously considering CCF and would like some input from someome the might know. However, one of the things that impressed me most about CCF, besides having plenty of challenging cases for the clinical experience, was the strenght of their didactic currriculum. In the past couple of years they have had three residents with one of the top six scores in the nation on the written boards (this information was provided durnig my interview). Maybe they were just outstanding test takers, who knows, but historically residents have done pretty well on the orals and written boards (>90% pass rate).

Like I said, I am seriously considering ranking this program #1, but I really like Michigan, MCW and U of Rochester as well. So if anyone has some useful information about this program, I would love to hear it.
