Residents seem very busy. I thought the PD mentioned something about adding more residents a few years back. I got the impression they could use to even add more, but they don't because they like the program size as it is. The question might be ... are the residents too busy?

any thoughts?

A number of graduates from my school have gone there. Residents are very happy, well supported, work with great faculty. They have a night float system, so they don't have to deal with being post-call and missing clinic etc. They do work hard when they are at the hospital. Patient volume is high. They carry a lot of patients on the wards without much time for reading on patients as they see them.

Hope that helps.

From what I know, Brown seems to be an wonderful, academic program. I think it has the best of both worlds...the prestige and happiness. You do work hard, but as an intern in any other hospital or any in other field of medicine you work your butt off. It is just a the simple fact of intern year. But what I do think it makes a world of difference when you have great faculty and an atmosphere that is extremely, extremely supportive.

I really liked Brown as well, and was very surprised about the amount of diversity in Providence, as the PD brought up numerous times. I had the PD during my interview, and he's just a fabulous guy. The residents did seem busy, but morning report and noon conference were very well attended, with plenty of residents taking the time to talk to applicants.
