Can anyone enlighten me on the positives and negatives of each program?
Here's what I have so far:
-It seems like SLU is affiliated with a great burn center, children's hospital (great peds surgery opportunities), and VA, while Missouri-Columbia also is affiliated with a VA, in addition to a cancer center and level 1 trauma center (probably less peds but great exposure to everything else).
-SLU seems to have more fellowship opportunities at its own site (Peds, CT, critical care, Plastics, Uro), although Missouri-Columbia still has CT, vascular, and burn.
-Boards pass rates are slightly higher at SLU than Missouri-Columbia but both are still below 60%.
Anyone know how well residents are treated at each site? Technical skills? Where do the graduates go (I think all websites should post this!)?
