I don't think there is one. You should quit medicine and found a startup to make one.Haha fair enough, my bad. I forgot to turn on my sarcasm detection app.

How does Stanford view applicants from other regions of the US? Aka are they a program that takes their home applicants and disregards away rotations, or will an away rotation help at Stanford?
Question for my friend who is trying to rank her list of IM program.
What is the CAP number of pts on IM month and ICU month?

Thanks. That confirms what my friends told me. Your program is a cush one. 10 is like a walk in the park compared to other programs. Good luck20 (10 per intern)
Agreed - this is actually an ACGME requirement:10 is pretty standard at many of the programs I interviewed at last year, some of which are considered among the more demanding academic IM programs in the country. I'd wager carrying 10 complex patients at an academic referral center is harder than 20 patients admitted to a community hospital with pneumonia.
See I.A.2.h).(6).(c) [The sponsoring institution and participating sites must provide the resources to ensure the implementation of the following: on inpatient rotations:] a first-year resident must not be responsible for the ongoing care of more than 10 patients
If anything, it's an inverse correlation. A lot of the students at the "Top X" programs are barely allowed to look at patients, let alone actually do anything.Not specific to Stanford, but I've wanted to ask a someone at a top program this. Kind of loaded question, but honesty is appreciated. Do you feel like there is any correlation between residency performance and medical school tier? Honest question, I'll likely end up slightly above the tier of my med school if all goes well and I'm wondering if I need to bulk up on xCU, nephrology/ID, etc. months.
Agree. It's just how like your performance in med school isn't really impacted by where you went to undergrad. It's much more to do with the type of person you are and not the building you happened to be in.If anything, it's an inverse correlation.

But generally speaking, no.
