Hey guys. I guess it is a little bit late in the game, but I am finally sitting down and trying to reconcile my impressions on the trail with the "nitty gritty," factual details of programs in making my rank list. If anyone else finds this kind of info (call schedule, number of residents, sites, surgical numbers, etc) useful, please post what you know. If you are a resident at a program and are viewing this post- please give us your take- your input is easily the most valuable.

Please do not editorialize in the posts since this might discourage others from posting or provide flawed information.

I will post what I know in a day or so once I have examined my files. On another note, I enjoyed meeting so many of you on the trail and finding out that I will be in good company in the years to come. Good luck to everyone- the hard part is over!
