UVA > bayview > MCV >>> others

UVA is the best known and respected. The one drawback is that it doesn't have a ton of voluem. Bayview is a great program related to Hopkins but is a community program.

MCV is a great mid-tier university program but I think that bayview's link to JHH is what makes it a bit better.

WHC is kinda mediocre. Honestly the DC programs aren't that strong.
 
Thank you so much! This has helped a lot. Where do you go for residency?
 
i'll vouch for uva... it's a great place to do IM residency. tough at times, but that's true of IM at any academic center, and the atmosphere/environment is really good. i don't have experience with the other schools.
 
for the record bayview is not a community program - it's highly integrated into the rest of the hopkins system with majority of hopkins residents and fellows doing their rotations there.
