Yr 2005 - 11 total for surgery+anesthesiology+radiology (no derm/opthamology)
Yr 2003 - 6 or so of the above 3 specialties added together.
I'm not necessarily interested in the above specialties. But, the number of matches into the above 3 gives you a good indication of the diverse specialties a school's grad normally go into. And I know that certain people choose to go into primary care. But, I have a hard time accepting that such a minority of the above classes wanted to go into specialties other than primary care as illustrated above.
I met someone who graduated from Case Western which prompted me to check out their match list.
Anesthesiology - 12
Derm-3
Family practice - 6
Surgery (all types) - 11
Opthamology - 2
Radiology - 11
Neurology - 2
etc..
The diversity of the specialties their grads got into was much much higher than the Western grads who usually got into family practice, OB/GYN, and internal medicine. Nothing else.
Many of them got into 'Traditional rotating'. What is that?
Anyway, I'm a bit disappointed.
