So I've been getting bombarded with people asking how certain programs rank. So why not start a pissing contest? Just kidding. But it might be fun to discuss.
Here is my opinion on the top 2 tiers. Ranking within the tiers is unnecessary. I think that there will be a general consensus on the top 2 tiers combined, but I predict much debate will be had over some programs in regards to their inclusion in the first vs. second tier.
Basically the only criteria I used was: which programs provide the best opportunities for both academic and private practice careers - i.e. which programs produce great clinicians and land good private practice jobs; and also provide research, prestige, etc. to porduce great academic physicians. Location was not factored into my list.
Top Tier (in no particular order):
MGH
UCSF
BWH
JHU
WashU
UMich
UPitt
U of Chicago
Duke
UPenn
Second Tier (in no particular order):
Vandy
Northwestern
UTSW
CCF
CWRU
Stanford
Columbia
Cornell
Mayo
UAB
