Dear Friends,
I have been trying to figure out my rank list and am having a hard time on deciding between two programs and which one to rank higher than the other, thus I am seeking your help. I am torn b/w these 2 programs
Program A is a new program in the NY area with solid teaching, good patient population and diversity, nice facilities, and the biggest thing is that it is near my home, however I felt that it lacked in procedures and trauma experience.
Program B is a well established program in Detroit. It has a heavy patient population load, the pathology is diverse, and tons of procedures. However, it is in the Detroit area and the hospital is run down.
My question is, Do procedures really matter in the grand scheme of things? I mean after the 3 yrs, I assume that I will get all the procedures needed to graduate and should be well apt at doing them. Does it really matter say if one does 20 chest tubes, central lines, etc vs someone who has done 100.
Please tell me your thoughts,
