Finding residency info?

Where can I find the best info about choosing a program and getting into residency? Is there a better way to search programs than FRIEDA?

The best resource I have found so far is customresidency.com. They have a great online database where you can compare programs and guides about the match process (interviewing, resume...). They also edit resume's and personal statements. They seem to have added a lot of cool new features recently so a membership is definately worth it.

Good luck!

Don't forget word of mouth. Ask your program's residents. Ask your attendings/advisors/mentors.

Agree -- There's really going to be no substitute for sitting down with a mentor in the field and getting the straight skinny on programs s/he's familiar with.

Thanks all, I really appreciate your comments. I have been meeting with my advisor but he is only familiar with a limited number of programs so I felt I needed another resource.

I joined http://customresidency.com and its really amazing--very professional and helpful.

Thanks for the tips!
