Lahey clinic is affiliated w/ Tufts. I did my 3rd year Surgery and my Transplant sub-I there. It's a very strong community/academic program. The resudents are the nicest and kindest people. Attendings-residents-students relationship is collegial. As a medical student, i was able to approach any attending for any question. They were always willing to teach. The OR enviroment is very benign.
Very early operative experience. Interns do many cases from breasts to hernias to lap ccy. There are 20 ORs at Lahey and theye are always busy.
Lahey is also well known for Colerectal and Transplant surgery. The President of the American Assoication of Colorectal surgery is at Lahey. The chief of Transplant, Dr. Jenkins, is the first to perform Liver Transplant in the New England area, and considered as one of the top transplant surgeon in the world. He is also a great doctor and gentleman.
The ancillary service is great. You never have to hunt down radiographic studies. They have the PACS system and there are PACS computers every where in the hospital. Dictation for studies/consults and transciption are done in a very timely manner.
There is a night float system. No weekday call for junior. 2 full weekends off a month.
I highly recommend this program!!!!!
