Tulane...I know the hospital got flooded really bad during Katrina and they didn't have a functioning cafeteria for months. I'm sure things are better now. In general I hear that Ochsner is the supposed to be the top cards program in Louisiana, but Tulane is probably 2nd. I actually was going to interview @Tulane a couple of years ago but I cancelled the interview...just b/c of having too many interviews...but they were super nice on the phone by email. Tulane is probably a more traditional academic type place, whee Ochsner is more of a private clinica/private practice type environment. Ochsner is supposed to be good if you want to do interventional. I heard there was some badness going on an LSU, but I don't know the nature of that...I mean if it's just hard work and lots of impoverished patients, or if there is some badness/malignancy among the faculty or program leadership.
These are all just hearsay things I have heard.
