Looking at the ped surg match thread, people have mentioned the importance of coming from a good gen surg program with a childrens hospital and ped surg fellowship, which echoes what I've heard elsewhere. I'm close to the end of residency interviews and have 5-6 programs that I loved, all of which are top programs with great childrens hospitals- except one. I really really liked UVA, but it has no childrens hospital and only 2 peds surgeons on faculty. If not for this, it would be one of my top ranks. Does anyone know more about how UVA does in the ped surg match, or if this should be a big factor in my decision making? While I'm keeping an open mind in terms of what I might go into, I feel strongly enough about ped surg that I want to go train at a program that will, at the very least, not close doors to that.
