It has not been very competitive in the past, but it should be more so with the new hospital... a nice facility with a nice location, but not as impressive as the hype, I thought.
They've had an unfortunately poor showing in fellowship placement (GI especially) which scares off most categoricals I've talked to. The thing that turned me off was that the PD (who seemed great..) actually mentioned that they had difficulty in the competitive fields for placement.. major mis-step!! Don't want to hear that on interview day!! Especially unnerving because even programs with shady fellowship records give you the "you'll get your fellowship from here" sales pitch when you interview.
I think the word is it's a great prelim place, a good primary care stop, but a little iffy with the categorical..
great PD, though. and nice metro!
