Univ of Maryland

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hopkins does not dominate the Baltimore area. There is Sinai and UMD to help 🙂 I am at Hopkins, but I can tell you that UMD still gets good volume. Since Hopkins is the pediatric trauma center for the city we tend to have a busier PICU and ED but overall I think UMD is still a great place to see a good variety. I at least think it is worth interviewing there. I am sure someone from UMD can speak more to this. Good Luck!
 
For what it's worth, my chair (of a midwest program, who trained at Boston Children's and has been on faculty in other regions) is absolutely obsessed with UMD. He says Maryland's a really strong program and talked me into adding it on my list. Take that or leave it, though! Good luck. 🙂
 
I actually was talked into applying there also by our chair and some other attendings.
