Based solely on my interview experience/working with one of their residents, I would say it's not a very malignant place. It is supposedly a good place to do a surg prelim year if that is what you are looking for. The facilities are very old. The Chair has been there a long time. It is very much GENERAL surgery, not tertiary care. There is only one categorical res per year with ?3 prelims (many from northwestern) per year, so that makes for a tight call schedule. That's about all I know, which isn't much.
