I heard this is a malignant program that always terminate residents annually. There is always a PGY II spot available every year. Everyone, look up this program on malignant residency's program.com (do a google search and there is a list of residency programs including this one. ) I wouldn't touch this program with a long stick!

Thanks for your input. I think the other side of coin has it's own merits. There are quite a number of Interns who have completed Prelim PGY-1 and are now unable to find a spot in ANY PGY-2. Some of them that I personally know are ready to hit the panic button, so for them "Something is better than nothing".

Any then why should we look at the glass being half empty? There are quite a few residents who have actually completed their residency thru this program, so why not look at them as well?
