1. Pitt
2 .BIDMC (only because of location and opportunities - if I had to rank the program for "what it is" - it would not be in my top 5)
3. BU
4. UCSD
5. Vanderbilt
6. Mayo - Rochester (location brought it lower down on the list; the program is fantabulous)
7. Baylor College of Medicine
8. UAB (7 and 8 are in that order because of location - UAB is a kick-ass IM residency program).

Damn. All of you guys must have stellar stats.

I'm surprised that some of you only ranked 5 programs, especially with all 5 programs being competitive and top-notch. Isn't 5 still a little risky?
 
Along a similar vein...seriously you people are all way too smart. Every rank list is dizzying clone of top programs...

Any normal people out there? Help diversify this thread a bit...

It's just publication bias going on.

I'm just going to come right out and say it. That is a fascinating and truly bizarre rank list. I'm sure there's a story behind it, but it's probably not as good as the one that's in my head (which involves a bottle of tequila, a fistful of acid, a midget transexual prostitute and an NRMP login on 2/23).

I agree.... 😕😕😕 Did you rank everywhere you interviewed?

just wondering why you think this is a bizarre list

The geographic and "program reputation" variation borders on schizophrenic. The #1 is a program considered to be one of (if not the) most hardcore/malignant IM programs out there (with some of the best clinical training). Program #2 is a relatively chill community program overlooking Puget Sound. #3 is just a crap program.

SCVMC is a crap program? How so? Have you looked at their faculty/residents/where they send their residents to fellowships?

The way SDN treats non-Harvard/UCSF/JHU programs is reprehensible at best.
 
I'd certainly be interested to know the rationale behind calling Santa Clara Valley a crap program, because everything that I've heard is quite the contrary.

Please elaborate gutonc...
