Thoughts on the Anesthesia program at Emory for residency? Thank you so much in advance!

Many yrs ago I ranked it number 2 on my rank list. Unless it’s changed…. it’s a great program. See it all and do it all. Of course, the big downside is Atlanta traffic…

Solid program. 3 of my friends finished there 6-10 years ago. 2 of my friends from residency are still on faculty.

It's all about WHERE you live in Atlanta. For most of us, we can't imagine living in a dump like NYC, SF, or LA.
Nah. Have to disagree with u. There is a reason people live in those cities.

Try picking up someone at grey hound bus station in Atlanta. That is the definition of a dump

All cities have plus and minus.

Why would a doc pick someone up at a grey hound bus station?

Aren't our circle mostly upper middle class people?

My mother in law afraid of flying. So she took a bus from Tennessee to connect in Atlanta. That’s was years go. She’s gotten better about flying to Florida from Tennessee. But at that time. She didn’t want to fly. So I drove up 6 plus hrs to fetch her.

I got a lot of street cred in me. But it’s not the safest area at night.

That area around Georgia state isn’t the greatest either. I picked up the college baby sitter as a courtesy to her Florida mom who lived my neighborhood in Florida on way back to Florida. So picked up 2 people on the same trip.
 
It’s funny how 100% of these threads turn into, “you’re an idiot if you want to live in xyz locale!!”

I don't think I've ever put the quality of the Greyhound Station as a high ranking factor in where I live 🤣 I basically expect it to resemble a homeless shelter with buses.

You are ranking cities based on the quality of their Greyhound bus station? Every major city’s Greyhound is in a sketchy area. That’s why the bus station is there and not a BMW dealership.

Is it $hitty because of the bus station or is there a bus station there because it’s $hitty?

I was mentioning to someone who said nyc San fran are “dumps”

Everyone place has ghetto areas even smaller towns have ghetto places. Even a small place I cover has wings from a place (not its real name) but calls them hood wings. Cause it’s literally in the hood. Literally homeless people all around when I go pickup the wings after work. But the wings are so good. It’s popular place with the locals.
 
I have family who applied in the last match at Emory. I am generalizing based on Emory's residency programs but the impression is solid training.

High acuity. But almost no downtime, real busy and complex cases.
 
I'm looking into it for cardiac fellowship if anyone has any thoughts on it/knows more? it seemed really nice during the interview, so wanted to affirm/deny. thanks in advance!

Resident in my program went to Emory from cardiac anesthesia fellowship. As I recall, through other residents, he loved it. They run a crazy number of heart rooms daily (14 I think).

I can support the claim that most wings from the hood are good. This may be factual

Regarding Atlanta, apparently Magic City is the place to get wings. I can neither confirm nor deny this

Emory is a major research institution and I believe the only medical on of it's sort in Atlanta. If you say "Emory" out loud most people know what you're referring to. If you're trying to match a program/get hired as faculty and it's your only answer it's certainly not the wrong answer.
 
I've heard from people I know familiar with Emory

Oh, "getting wings" is what they call it now? Very smart move. Now when couples are together you can disguise in code talk, "Hey guys, let's all go out for "wings" after bowling league this Tuesday."
