I know nothing about Chicago but Miami had awesome size, scope, and fellowship opportunities as I recall. Lots of neurointerventional and sleep, too.
And as a city, I would say Miami is waaaaaay better than Chi-town. At least for my personality. I like the beach.

At Miami there IS EMR at its main site ie Jackson..I assume that's what you are referring to
Ultimately a lot depends on you and how hard you're willing to work, and your goals as a Neurologist.
For what it's worth, I think that Miami is a really great program.
-Competition in Chicago is tough with other strong programs like Rush and NU. Rush is very strong at Movement. NU is very strong at neurorehab. UIC is good at stroke. U of C as far as I know hasn't really carved out a niche of it's own. With another couple centers in the mix they might not be the best choice for a Chicago program. Also, U of C didn't have all the subspecialties as fellowships a few years ago either. Some of that might have changed.
-Our program director, Dr. Isaacson, takes a great deal of time to know your application through and through, which is perhaps why some people are startled by his questions. He's involved in the program and very 'relatable,' with genuine intentions.
-We have EMR at every hospital by the way.
Good luck!

There is tons of strange cases at Jackson. There is EMR at every hospital and clinic on both sites of Jackson and Univ. of Miami hospital and it's clinic. However, in my opinion, for residency Training EMR is not a big deal. You need to learn clinical stuff not to play around with computer to write up your note, that's the least important part about taking care of a pt.

The inpatient training in stroke and seizure and Neurocritical care is great but like other places you need to do elective to see other cases such as Parkinson's, muscular and MS cases. As there is not that much of private admissions. ..also Very little training in Pain.
...
They are big in research and they encourage residents to have projects.
...
In the first year and second year you do calls and third years do not do calls, unless they are chief on the floor that they cover the whole month.
...
The program is very solid and one of the biggest in the country with 12 residents each year and the internship year is integrated to the program now.
...
I'm not sure about word "creepy" PD. when you call people with names, it has a reflection on you as well. He is very smart person and one of the youngest PDs that I have ever seen. Good for him!
