Any advice from attendings, residents, or other interviewers would be great. Loved both programs. I want to go into academic medicine. I want a residency that I can get a fellowship easily and get an academic job anywhere relatively easily. Thanks!!!
 
I loved UK when I rotated there as a student. Its very heavy on teaching. Even the research they do is based on the most effective teaching method. I think even the residents felt like they were still in school to a point based on the fact they had a lecture/grand rounds/mandm every day. The only reason I didnt rank them number one was I felt it was actually too much hand holding to the point I wasnt sure if Id come out of residency bad ass enough. Knew Id come out educated though.
