Whats the call schedule like at Johns Hopkins? Whats the teaching like? Do you get a lot of time with attendings or is it mostly resident to resident?

So call is worked out with nightfloats and so forth so that you average about 1 overnight call q7 ! It's awesome. Call can be tough/long/demanding, but really amazing and the seniors who back us up are right there beside us, advising and pushing us. There, that should answer that question.
q7 call .. really? so since you said " average" does that mean some rotations are heavier -- some lighter?
or is it pretty consistent q7 call?
thanks.

1. Yes, q7 on average except in unusual situations. That means that we cover overnight calls only as nightfloat (5 or 6 days a week) OR weekend call (with Friday OR Saturday overnight). You can learn more on the JHU GYN/OB website.
2. I didn't directly answer the question about teaching above before. Yes, it's great! The attendings are always around and always teaching, especially on ob (in house attending 24/7). The teaching from the seniors is abundant and really great -- they're your frontline for learning the basics and they are GREAT!
3. There's no board score cutoff, but the program is HIGHLY highly selective, so if your scores are low, there should be something else about your application/letters/experience/personality that will indicate you are a good fit for our program. Sorry no definites!
Good LUCK all!!!
