Have heard that Vandy is not a bad place to do neuro but I've also heard that its not too academic (but I think they are trying to fix that with more MD,PhD faculty recruits) and I've noticed they dont have any MD,PhD's in their entire program!! Also Nashville is too small for me and too "country"..But if your into the Opryland/Vandland thing (i.e. country music and not much culture) then try it out.

I have heard from senior residents that it is a fine program and a good one to work in. I've never been there myself.

Thanks for the input. Yeah, I'm kinda into that stuff. Was in Nashville for undergrad (not Vandy) and love the city.

Vandy is a very pleasant place to be, definitely on the rise in terms of academic power. Dr. Macdonald, the chair, is a very impressive person and is working hard to get make the program more academic. Worth a look.

I really liked the program when I interviewed there. The residents are all happy. There is a huge emphasis on attending conferences. The hospital is amazing and the computer system there helps make the residents' work lives more efficient. But, I went back for a second look and was disappointed with the lack of teaching on rounds.
