Thoughts on how these programs compare in terms of quality of residency training? I know all are strong, that I can't go wrong with any, and that one could get top fellowships out of any.

I would prefer to go to:

MEEI > Iowa > Wilmer

All are great programs. But Baltimore is scary as heck.

MEEI and Wilmer: more emphasis on research, lower surgical volumes during training

Iowa: emphasis on resident and fellow education, higher surgical volumes

It depends on what you're looking for. I'm not really into research so I would pick Iowa if I had a choice.

Just curious, but do these academic programs require you to do research projects during residency?
