Parkland is a great program with a solid reputation nationally (Williams Obstetrics). However, it is very large, 16 residents per year. It is great if you are looking to do tons of high-risk OB. The residents only deliver the high-risk pts, (NPs do the rest), since there is just not enough man-power (16,000 deliveries/ yr). As a result, a resident there will do many ob rotations, but fewer gyn rotations. So, if you are a person interested in gyn surgeries more so than ob, you have to compete with many residents for OR time.
The faculty at Parkland are very well-known and also nice people. They do not have a pretentious attitude at all, at least in my opinion. The residents work very hard but seem generally happy with their choice to be there.
Hope that helps!
