I will - if you give me some info on Tech's surg program. 😉

St Joe's - often never fills, I wonder if its b/c its considered outta the med center loop
Baylor - said to be somewhat malignant & I know several Baylor students who do not want to match there

uthouston - i did a research month through their department and i got to sit through one of their morning reports. i think that this program is very laid back. one of the faculty members i worked with at uth is a big name in surgery and if you actually meet him in person he is one of the nicest people you could meet - all the students, residents, faculty, and staff really like him. pm for more details that i know of the general surgery department at uthouston.

no problem, only problem is i'm at tech-el paso, not lubbock, i can tell you in el paso the dept is pretty benign, very friendly, good for people with families b/c they don't keep the residents all hours of the day(except of course during the intern year), but i'm not sure of the quality of the attendings, only one or two of them ever impressed me, and the patient population is all hispanic, all choles and i&d for perirectal abcesses.
