Just discovered this website recently and wished someone would have pointed it out to me. This is biased by my interview experience, but it seemed that ALL the programs I interviewed with said ALL their residents passed the boards. Most programs would mention something on the order of "only 1 resident this past year didn't pass, but that was based on that guy."
This is the ABS website 2004-2009 board pass rates.

I don't think this should be the be all end all of anyone's rank list, but you may want to factor it in with other things of importance...how much vacation time do I get? how nice are the call rooms? do I have to take call more than 1/week?
