I'm trying to a plan where I should do a rotation my fourth year, and I'm trying to decide between the programs in oregon and UC Davis. Anyway just looking for pros and cons about these programs.
 
Davis
Work very hard
Lots of good experience
Not far from fun outdoor stuff
Not so nice ED
Cool residents

Oregon
No work too hard
Not quite as much good experience
Not far from fun outdoor stuff
Nice ED
Cool residents

I interviewed at both programs 2 yrs ago...ranked both highly. If I were going to rotate at one it would be Davis....More volume, more pathology, etc. It seems like everyone wants the slower, easier program these days. If that's what you want, go to Portland. Rotate (and do residency) where you work hard and learn alot...it's the only formal training that you're going to get in EM....just a thought

You do realize that you can edit your own posts after you've made them, right? 🙂 There's a little "edit" button down in the bottom right.
