4. Curriculum: * * * * : Comprehensive. No floor months. 2 weeks of EKG reading in the heart station first year.
5. ED: * * * : Relatively clean and organized. Brochure says it is ultramodern. Not sure if I agree with this statement (especially in comparison to the unbelievable ED at Albert Einstein, philly). Observational area too. The physician space seems very cramped.
6. Hospital: * * * * : Great reputation. Otherwise very nice facilities.
