I have seen all the old threads (most are from the mid-2000's) with tiers of anesthesia residencies. I was wondering if anyone had an updated list, or is knowledgeable enough to come up with one? It would be helpful, since I don't really trust the tiers from 5+ years ago (PD's change, programs fix things, programs get worse, etc.). I understand one's personal rank list is dependent on one's own priorities, but it would be helpful to differentiate between similar programs.

I would talk to the Anesthesiology program director at your school, or a trusted advisor and go from there. All of these lists are pure mental masturbation. I could give a s**t how much research money a department has. At this point I'm more interested in a program that aligns with my career and geographic goals.

There are definitely some mediocre/malignant programs out there, but it won't be a secret when you apply. There is always an airing of grievances on SDN in true Festivus style.
