Hi Everyone. I was wondering how people felt about the anesthesiology programs on the West Coast. It was my impression that the truly outstanding programs in terms of caseload, academics, research, faculty, and overall reputation would be limited to a relatively short list. Schools such as UCSF, Stanford, UCSD, and Univ of Washington would be in this category. My advisor and many other residency directors I spoke with have stated that traditionally UCSF has been the pre-eminent location for anesthesia training in the West, if not the entire U.S. Personally, I was very impressed with the caliber of their program. It seemed head and shoulders above the rest. Thanks for any input. I'm also curious how those of you who interviewed at both UCSF and other top programs in the East felt compare them. I did not attend those interviews.
