Good rad programs by region

[hopefulmed]

Given the number of programs in the country, it'd be nice to start looking at some programs with some input. List some programs by region which you think are good (whatever your bias may be) and some you'd never set foot on.

This is p53's list:

Here are the top 5 programs in each region.

East Coast
1. MGH
1. Penn
3. Johns Hopkins
4. BWH
5. NYU

West Coast
1. UCSF
2. Stanford
3. UCLA
3. Washington
5. UCSD

Midwest
1. MIR
2. Michigan
3. Mayo
4. Pittsburgh
5. Indiana

South
1. Duke
2. Wake Forest
3. Virginia
4. North Carolina
4. UTSW

I don't stand by this list as I didn't create it, but I think it is fairly accurate. I am sure one can argue moving places up or down one spot or switching out the #5 program for another which isn't on the list, but a pretty good list regardless.

Really? I know these guys get insane moonlighting but I never thought they were a powerhouse academic or Baylor-Dallas status community program. They are pretty good but I thought UT Memphis had just as good moonlighting with much better academics and teaching.

Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology

Their moonlighting is ridiculously good. They have 3-4 MSK guys trained at UCSD & a bunch of Duke neuro fship guys. Their residents tend to get those & similar fellowships as well. They read all the studies for the Campbell Clinic who "wrote the book" on Ortho. Their boards were strong.

Their reputation may not be at the level of Baylor-Dallas, but I would definitely pencil it in as a private practice program to check out.

Hey gourman, I really like you're "also good" list, anyone else has an also good list beside the well known programs that all the extra competitive applicants are gunning for?

also, is there a program that you'd not apply too, e.g. falling apart, can't get a decent job afterward, abusive to residents?
