Current MS4 trying to start making my rank list, made a new account for anonymity purposes. My question is this: If I want to get a community job in a difficult market like San Diego or maybe Hawaii after residency, how much difference does the perceived prestige of my residency make?
I understand that it's best to do residency in the region you think you want to end up in as there is a strong regional bias. This won't be a problem as I have plenty of southern california interviews. My question is, within regions if there is an advantage between going to a residency perceived as being more prestigious.
For my purposes more specifically, will I have an easier time getting a job in a difficult market like SD coming from one of the big 4-year programs in the area like Harbor/USC/UCLA vs a 3-year program like UC Irvine or Loma Linda?
Thanks in advance!
