I have not been able to find much info on them but would love to know more. Med students who have rotated there say it's a little disorganized.

So to answer my own question 7 years later, when I interviewed I was not very impressed and did not rank them. Basically when the Program director met with me he gave me a line something like "just rank us, I know we aren't your first choice, but rank us..."
seemed like the case Mix was pretty bread and butter, I think they went off site for cardiac. Overall nice people though.

Thank you for the much awaited insight into the program
Most non-university programs I feel are gonna provide bread-butter cases only
Any idea about their fellowship match rate? Board pass rate?
I did not go there but went to another program in boston. We had some crossover. This is what I gathered....
Its not as labor intensive/case intensive as the other boston programs.... lots of hand holding, easy cases, easy hours, rotate out for some rotations like ICU and neuro but i think do their own bread and butter cardiac. Nice people. GREAT location. I sense the OR in general is slow there.
Overall I dont think the training is bad, but its not top notch. Its kind of like a small private practice program. Its a very easy (hours wise) program, was the impression that I got. Graduates got into good fellowship programs and attained any goal they had for the most part. Lots stay in boston for fellowship or attending job at a neighboring hospital without difficulty, which is obviously a huge plus. It wasnt exactly in the same league as the other boston programs, but definitely respectable.

Based on my experience at a private practice program in the same region, but without knowing the specifics of this program, I would recommend strongly against a non-university program.
What's considered bread-and-butter? As a newly minted CA-1 at an academic center, I get the feeling my view may be a little skewed.

Anything a supervised CRNA/CA-1 can do at your academic center, plus OB, plus peds. Typically not cardiac, neuro, vascular or thoracic.
