What's the scoop on this program? Good/Bad reputation? Trending up/down? Specifically does anyone know any details regarding time spent in cities outside New Orleans?
 
I spoke to a resident who recently graduated from the Tulane program less than two years ago and he said looking back he felt he received terrible training. Learning by mistake instead of from the staff. Stated he was operating completely alone without faculty support and when problems arose the staff was no where to be found. From what I heard from him, I think this program needs to be shut down and it is quite an irresponsible program. I doubt the residents will be open about this during the interviews, so try to ask directly.

Maybe it has changed in the last year. So if anyone knows better, please post.

Isn't that illegal?
 
Please take what I said with a grain of salt, keep an open mind and do thorough research beforehand.

I have heard of this happening at other programs before. That being said, the residents there felt privileged to be trusted to that extent and help was always available upon request.

I feel asking directly would be a death sentence to one's application regardless of any promises of confidentiality of openness.
 
OK. So not to get off topic or hi-jack this thread (sarcasm), how about some info on the Tulane program?
