I have been a lurker until now. I thought I would share my thoughts on a few places that have not been reviewed.
UF - Jacksonville
I was very impressed by this program because they have a very good patients to learn from. It is a county receiving hospital but doesn't have the true look of one. They get tons on trauma and manage the airway on 100% of them, while also running a good amount of them. The trauma bay was filled when we toured and looked like an exciting place to work and learn. The ED was big with 6 trauma bays and 4 medical resuscitation bays, among many other beds in what they call the ED ICU. The fast track area was recently built and looks fantastic. The residents seemed to be very happy there and could not stop talking about how much autonomy they get. Its a truly resident run ED but the attendings are nearby to help with any questions or problems. All of them seemed to enjoy living in Jacksonville, most living away from Shands because its in a shady location. The faculty is well known. They also have a good mix of single and married residents who enjoy hanging out together and drinking. The PD is on high ACEP committees and has a lot of EM leadership experiences on a national level. The research they have is cutting edge and I think on par with many other places. The commitment to resident education was strong as well. I liked this program very much and I think this will be in my top 3, if not my top choice in the end. PM me with questions. Thank you.
