Where do these programs (UMiami/Jackson and Mt. Sinai) rank among others? Are they considered mid tier? Can anyone comment on what they are like compared to some other places? Thanks.
Understood about the small n. I think location can make an average program better, but a good location and crappy program may not be worth it. So thanks for the replies, if anyone knows any red flag/bad things chime in, otherwise I guess I'll just have to find out when/if I interview there.
I interviewed at University of Miami last year and can tell you about the experience.
The location is suboptimal, the hospital is located in one of the more undesirable neighborhoods of Miami. On the other hand, you can easily commute from other towns.
They are one of the few programs that took the candidates out on a dinner the night before the interview. The residents there seemed to be relaxed, fun bunch of group -- many either of Hispanic or Asian heritage. I think I would have enjoyed working with them.
Also, they recently switched to subspecialty sign out, rather than general. So you have to decide if that's what you would prefer.
Some of the attendings that I interviewed with were odd. I don't know if I would feel comfortable knocking on their doors for consults/advice/etc.
It's not much but that's all I remember. Hope this helps!
