Hey everyone, I am participating in the couples match, wife is going into Pediatrics. Long story short we are trying to match into a situation where we can have a reasonably good chance of living together for all 5 years, so this has adjusted the programs we are considering near the top of our list somewhat. Long term I anticipate us wanting to live in either Michigan, Texas, or California for family / lifestyle reasons.
Trying to decide between the following three for Number 1, UMich, Baylor Houston, Baylor Dallas.
In my mind it seems like UMich is on a different academic level then the other two but this could be my own bias. My wife's favorite program is in Dallas, and I did enjoy Baylor Dallas a lot as well. My only concern is that it is a private practice/community program that may not have the same name nationwide. Not sure how significant of a factor this is.
Below those three I have:
UT Houston, Case Western UH, Penn State, Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic Rochester, Penn Hospital, Loyola, UIC, Henry Ford, Beaumont, UC Davis....
in a large grouping that we are having difficulty ranking. Mayo clinic is moving down our list quite a bit due to my wife's preferences. Penn Hospital was one of my favorites on the trail but we don't have a prelim option in Philly, just ones several hours away. UC Davis is a similar situation except nothing really on the West coast as far as prelims.
Career goals are more likely private practice than academic, although I wouldn't mind a hybrid position similar to the private practice group at Baylor Dallas. Any insight/advice/ rankings that folks could provide would be very helpful. Thanks!
