The medical school classes, like most everything else in Texas are large, and they seem to produce a lot of people interested in radiology.
I can understand why they would choose to train in Dallas and Houston which have historic academic reputations. I can even understand why they would choose Scott and White if they don't need to find somebody to breed with. Baylor Dallas is the darling of all community programs out there.
What I don't get is why San Antonio didn't fill in the match in 2011 or 2012. Now I know that they had major political issues years back when their chair moved to Denver; but following an interim stint, they should have things under control.
Their IR program has a great reputation, and they seem to have the only version of some odd combined Ph.D. thingy. They advertise collaboration with the military programs even though one of them produced the infamous recall whistleblower. Last year, 2 national radiology societies (Ped's and MSK) held their national meetings there.
My question is this. It is the third largest medical center in the state, so what the heck is wrong with it? Why did the residents push me so hard in selling the place when I visited, even arguing that their "study aids" *wink wink* were better that UTSW.
So what is wrong with it? The fact that you need to go to Austin for a singles scene? I could care less about that if that is the problem.
PM's are welcome. Thanks.
