A good place to start is scutwork.com. It is a website where people post reviews of programs...usually done by present/past residents, sometimes by interviewees.

I am from Greenwich and my primary graduated from the Greenwich Hospital Program. the program has LOTS of perks (free housing) and you won't have to worry about getting a job afterwards but it is small so they may go over work hours a bit.

lankenau is down the street from where I go the med-school. lots of Penn grads match into their cardiology program.

Rotated there as a medical student. Very good program. Good instruction. Morning report and Noon Conference very educational. Great attendings all around. Great program director.

Downside is that rounding is sometimes unofficial. Would be nice if every attending had walking rounds everyday. This should really be implemented and I'm not sure why it isn't.

Great ancillary staff. Once they get to know you, you're one of them and they will do anything for you. Great social services. MDR (multidisciplinary rounds) incorporates social services, etc into rest of day's routine. MDR is 3x a week and lasts roughly 10-15 minutes.

Very happy about program.
