i wanted to know if anyone knew anything about the peds program in dartmouth? thanks!
 
It is a primary care oriented program in a rural setting at an academically fairly strong institution, but somewhat remote location I guess. The PD is great - very impressive lady, and super nice - and interview day there was awsome. Everyone was nice and professional. I think residents work reasonably hard and have a lot of autonomy - no fellows - but are also taught very well, they have very good faculty there. They have a great EMRs system and are building a new 'sim center' for practicing codes, which they run once a week for the Peds residents if I remember correctly. Also, they hyave a 'no pain' rotation where they teach you systematically how to sedate the kiddies for small procedures. The only real drawback in my mind - remote location (not much opportunities for spouse), and demographics - not the most ethnically diverse corner of the country. But apart from that, i think you get great trainign there, whether you want to do genreal peds or fellowship (they do send people to Boston for fellowships.)
Hope this helps.
