It is a well respected program with a strong East Coast atmosphere (i.e. formal program) Categoricals are treated better than prelims, many of which are IMGs. Basically, not much operating until R3 (minor cases) with the bulk of OR time as R4 and 5. Einstein has one of the big vascular surgeons (Vieth), which is a plus if vascular is your bag. Jacobi is a city hospital: poor anxillary service, general surg team cares for about 40 pts, and no operating opportunity if not a R4 or R5. Great trauma center, not as an intern. Food sucks at Jacobi (ox tail is common) but there is a McDonalds in the hospital. Kosher food at Weiler (fair), Einstein has a pretty nice selection and meal tickets are provided every where. Scut- you are a scut monkey there! Atmoshere: hierarchical and you feel it. But most residents are pretty damn cool. Call schedule: a lot of q3 and not just as an intern!
You interviewed there. Go with your gut feeling.
