Thoughts on general surgery program list

Would like to stay in Pennsylvania (home state), Colorado (family), or Delaware (sub-I). If programs are in the wrong category (reach/target/baseline) let me know, thanks in advance!

• 4 so far (both home program PD and surgical chair, M3 surgery attending, Sub-I #1 surgery attending)
• Home program and two aways

Please also share your thoughts on my signals 🙂

Two RVU grads in 2021 and two in 2022 matched CU prelim surgery program. I don't see any DO resident on the CU gen surgery program website. Hope you did a Sub-i there and left a good impression. GL.

I know the PA area well and think this is a solid list.

I’d add some NJ programs. Would consider adding Cooper, Morristown , etc
