Realize that everyone is going to give you different opinions. Here's mine: carefully consider the programs number of residents (typically, the more residents, the stronger the program), the amount of research monies, number od beds, in-patient vs. outpatient exposure, fellowships offered, etc.... From what I've seen, University of Minnesota is a solid program with a large number of in-patient beds and considerable research. I've also heard that The Ohio State University program is good, but they've had problems in the past -- I think they are still in a state of flux, however if someone in the program reads this, feel free to elaborate/disagree. I've also heard good things about Maimonides and UConn, though I know nothing about the programs. Minnesota is one of my interviews (January) and I really like the opportunities for: fellowships, moonlighting, varied patient base, and biological emphasis. I LOVE Minneapolis/ St. Paul, too!!!
Again, this is OPINION and, undoubtedly, people will disagree. I do hope it helps, however.
