I have been blessed with multiple anesthesiology interviews at some great programs. I am having trouble with my rank list and am wondering if you would be able to share your opinions. I have family in Southern California and my ideal location for training would be close to them. After residency training I could see myself moving to Texas to start my career.
I have heard the advice to complete your residency training in the location you want to end up. But I have also heard that private practices do not care where you did your residency training. Would it be foolish to rank USC above UCSF and UT Southwestern if I wanted to end up in Dallas after training? If I don't end up in Dallas, I could see myself in SoCal - which leads to my next question: how competitive is the SoCal PP job market? I have heard that top SoCal PP jobs go to UCSF, Stanford, UCLA, and UCSD grads. Would doing my training at USC put me at a disadvantage to UCSF grads if I were to stay in SoCal?
Appreciate your input!
