Sorry to post another help with rank list message...
I have a top 4 on my rank list that I just can't seem to get in order, although Tulane and Emory are somewhat in the lead. I'm looking to go into academic geriatrics and primary care in the future, and in keeping with my academic interests I probably value "the intangibles" a bit more than other people might. So here it is:
Tulane: Loved--New Orleans (I've always fantasized about living there), resident run program down to the fact that residents make the final rank list, program director, solid traditional IM training, emphasis on teaching how to teach, and when I hung out with the residents I had the fuzzy feeling like I had known them/been friends with them forever
Worried about--resources, research, lack of primary care track, almost absent geriatrics
Emory: Loved--diverse training setting (county, university, VA, private, and geriatrics hospitals), young energetic faculty, residents were friendly and well spoken, has a dedicated primary care track and fairly well respected geri department
Worried about--Atlanta (did not love the city), although residents were friendly I'm not sure I really fit
Wake Forest: Loved--Primary care track, Best geriatrics facilities I've seen along with enthusiastic young geriatricians, totally paperless system
Worried about--Living in Winston Salem (it's tiny!), Only one main hospital, Most residents seemed to be married w/young families (and I'm not)
Hopkins Bayview: Loved--Primary care track and geriatrics, it has a name, faculty is full of geriatricians
Worried about--Living in Baltimore, not fitting in with the Northeast/Ivy League mindset
Thanks for any help you can give!
