What is the reputation/impression of neurology residency at Georgetown? How are they in getting jobs (including academic) after residency or fellowship at Georgetown? I know they are the best in DC but I hear that they are not as well regarded among the top programs and I am wondering why since it seems good to me.

Bump. I would like to know too.

The reputation when I was applying several years ago was such that I abandoned the idea of applying in DC at all. I heard from several friends with ties to the DC area that the department was struggling financially.

Since my original post, I came to realize that it is so hard to say about reputation because it is so subjective and sometimes biased. I heard about the financial struggle in the 90s. Last month, I did not see evidence of a financially struggling department (hot breakfast on interview day?!) and the building of a brand new hospital that will break ground some time late 2018 with guaranteed neuro space.
