Im trying to figure out which program will be better...Any thoughts?

monte-residents seemed unhappy, long hours, calls q8 or q9, but great clinical experience, will prepare you for any case, get the little things like parking(for half the year), meal cards and book stipend

downstate-couldn't find anyone stating anything negative about the place, location's not the best, more call but you have a 3-hour break, salary based on which of the 3 hospital's you're at, little things...no parking, no book stipend, but you do get a palm

that's all i can remember off the top of my head, good luck!

If you had to pick one of the two which one would u rank higher?

I'm having the same dilemma. I've heard that at Montefiore, you don't have many calls, but each day runs pretty long (until 7ish). Does anyone have anymore info? It would be glady appreciated!
