Dude, I interviewed down at Miami and its a good program with a lot of stuff going on down there which means they work a lot as well cause they have a huge transplant center down there. The residents are also unionized which means they have incredible perks with good pay and everything. The thing I got from the residents was that housing was CHEAP! I couldn't believe that about Miami... and the girls!!! Holy Crap, the girls are HHHHOOOOTTTT... I traveled extensively and I have to say that Florida girls are the BEST looking girls I have seen in the US with Boston, MA a close second. You already know about the clubs and stuff so I won't get started on that... have fun 😀

Wasn't there some weird review about Mt. Sinai Miami in the Interview Experiences thread?

I heard (hearsay, so take it for what it's worth) on my interview travels that U of Miami residents are not a priority for the program - (i.e. teaching is secondary to getting things done quickly for clinicians).

I interviewed at U Miami/Jackson Memorial this year. Miami is an awesome city. Some things concerned me about the program, the main one was they have a unique processing technique which they say allows them to have a 1 day turnover. This is good for the surgeon who wants the dx, but doesn't seem the best way to learn as a resident. I think for surg path one of the biggest factors is having time to preview your slides before they are signed out. The medical center is HUGE. They seem to have a great specimen load and variety. It kinda seemed to me that resident education was less important there than it was at many of the other places I interviewed at.

right on bro...being a native floridian and south beachian for the majority of my days...I can attest to the HOTTNESS factor of the majority of miami femme fatales...the REASON..there is a HUGE latin population...have you ever had the pleasure of a petite, well endowed latin bombshell call you papi...believe me it is a good thing...that's the thing about Miami...you don't just see a few stunning women here and there...THEY ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE...and all of them would be more than happy to marry a financially secure, young, handsome doc...they'd spend most of their days working out, getting manicures, pedicures, getting their hair done...just to make themselves pretty for YOU...it really is heaven on earth
