Michigan
Metrohealth
Christiana
OSU
(Haven't interviewed at St. Vincent's yet - but likely will come in after OSU)
I didn't apply to those other places so they would rank below for me
.
Michigan had a really nice ED, very strong off service rotations, a state of the art computer system, an active aeromedical program, and Ann Arbor seemed like a pretty cool town. (This is saying a lot as I went to undergrad at Ohio State)
The other three are really close IMO. What all four do (Christiana a little less than the others) is give the senior residents good supervisory experience, teaching of interns and medstudents. Why I think Metro is probably second on this list for me is the aeromedical program and the fact that you can actually moonlight in the dept (pre-license) precepting medical students.
I am sure you know a ton about that program though - given your name.
The question you didn't ask but I'll answer anyway...
I would put Cincinnati above any of those (personally). Say what you want about four year programs but I feel going to such a long standing program, with its reputation will open the most future doors for me. I think it has everything I mentioned above (very good supervisory experience - to be expected in a 4 year program), very strong aeromedical program, strong trauma, very good volume, excellent attendings. (all of the above mentioned have this too - well Christiana and OSU do not have aeromedical)
The bottom line is those places (along with maybe Charity and UMass) will be my top 5-6 choices and I feel if I end up in any of those (and the vibe I get is that I probably will, since I haven't heard of too many people who end up farther down on their ROL) I will be going to a superb program and will be very happy come march.
Maybe in a couple of weeks we can retool this idea as a "Your ROL and why thread"
