I do notknow much about Davis however a recent poster seemingly spoke highly of them. UCLA is quite a mixed crowd of faculty, all very knowledgeable and willing to teach. Now I think there is a common general drawback with California programs compared to the MIdwest, and that is the "TIME" for teaching. Many California Medical Centers have been loosing money and efficinecy is over-empahsised, so that it may come BEFORE ABSOULTE resident teaching. That doesn't mean htere is no practical teaching or so. Otherwise it's a top program(excelent lectures, dedicated faculty, residency director Dr. Wald is excellent, as well as many faculty. They do research a lot.) and I am considering it number 3 on the west coast after UCSF, UWashington.
