Why is there so much animocity among you guys?
Are IM program rankings really that important?
I think most of us can think of physicians who DIDN'T go to the big name, top-ten, IM Programs, and still became major authorities in their respective field.
If you want to be a good doc, an excellent researcher, go to any number of the top 50 medical schools / hospitals in this country and work hard. Individualized effort will be more important than the location in which that effort takes place.
