I would add Colorado, Seattle (UW), UCSF and Vandy to that for PCCM, and from what I hear, UPenn.

Baylor im residents don't really see MD Anderson. UTH, even though it doesn't have much of an overall reputation, often matches 2 to MD Anderson because they get to rotate through there. So your odds of winding up at MD Anderson from a Texas residency are higher from UTH than Baylor or UTSW.

That is true.

In the above post, I should have separated each program. What I should have said is: one can get great fellowship training in Heme/Onc at MDACC and great training as a fellow at Baylor's Heme/Onc program (there are a lot of Baylor trained oncologists working all over Texas).

I have heard this on the trail a number of times (even once from a chair of Medicine). Why is the Baylor H/O program so highly regarded?
