OUTSTANDING program!!! The best medicine program by far (I looked at UT Southwest/U mich/MGH/Johns hop). Very supportive and nonmalignent enviroment. Once you finish, you get your pick of fellowships.
Disadv: ROCHESTER is a dump and if u are single, u are in trouble.
AMPAD said:Do those who have trained at Mayo have any thoughts on those who say Mayo is a bad place to train because you have no autonomy? I have heard that at the "WFMC" (World famous mayo clinic), no one wants resident care so you just watch as the hotshot staff do the work. Replies? Any any more details on the ins and outs of the program would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

It seems there are not too many direct admits from outside hospitals, they are sent to the ED to be evaluated then sent on if needed. I would say we probably have from 10-15 admits from the ED per shift per ED area (there are 3 there).

How come Rochester is a dump? Is it just that there isn't much to do, or is it actually a crappy town?
What are the accommodation options like for residents & fellows? Can you rent apartments within walking distance from the hospital?
Thanks
