Anyone have some insight into these 2 programs and how they might differ?
NYU: I loved my interview day at NYU, the residents and PD all seem intelligent, friendly, and engaged. The breadth of clinical experience (multiple hospitals, diverse patient base) seems unmatched. My hesitations are with the work hours and quality of teaching/supervision. Along the interview trail I've heard that residents often stay till 7pm or sometimes even 8pm. Regarding teaching, the residents repeatedly said this is a, "learn by doing" type of place, and that you have to "Love the craziness of New York." This makes me worry about the quality of the teaching and how hectic Bellevue is to work in.
Mt Sinai: Compared to NYU, I get the sense that this program has more reasonable work hours. My concerns here are resident camaraderie and faculty teaching. I've heard residents don't hang out much. I've also heard that teaching on the wards is not so great. Anyone heard otherwise? Also, anyone know of the reputation on a national level?
