I enjoyed reading the discussion on the Top 20 academic programs, so how about the top community programs? I in no way know enough to start my own list, but would love to hear some opinions.

I don't really know a ton about this stuff but I seem to hear Beaumont, Carolinas Medical Center, and New Hanover Regional mentioned. I'm sure there are many more, just what comes to mind.

What about Kaiser, Virginia Mason, Seattle Swedish, Huntington Memorial, Christiana, the Mayos?

Adding Santa Barbara Cottage, Fairfax INOVA, Iowa Methodist (I think that's where womansurg went), and St. Joseph's in Denver.

What is the meaning of a "good" community program?

And folks, if you have details on each place, whatever you have heard, that would be really helpful. 🙂

baylor dallas and methodist houston

I agree with the baylor dallas. just out of curiosity, why do you list methodist houston on the list of "top community programs"? They are new and have absolutely no track record as of yet. Would you have listed St.Joe's (what the program was before it moved to methodist) on this list?
