I would love some input comparing WUSTL and Vandy.
Here are my priorities:
- Reputation of the program; ease of obtaining fellowship of choice; faculty network/connections
- Research support by the department and the institution as a whole; abundant collaborators/research funding & infrastructure
- mature, motivated, well-rounded residents (not malignant, lifestyle-conscious, etc)
- Urban setting > rural (personally, I think Nashville is preferable to STL)
This is just hearsay, but I've heard whispers of WUSTL being potentially 'malignant' to say that the residents are overworked, old-school surgery culture, etc. Can anyone familiar with the program confirm or deny this?
Otherwise, the reputation and training are both top-notch. So I would hate to unjustly move it down my list according to misinformation.
Thanks.
