One of the best children's hospital in the country, as far as resources, departments, research, etc. Zebras on top of zebras, while still having adequate access to the horses. The possibilities for career connections and networking are unmatched. Report as inappropriate

What impressed you negatively?:

Program size is huge, with 40 residents/class - made me feel like it'd be easy to get lost in the crowd. PD is leaving this year and it probably won't be an issue, but that leaves a small element of chance that the new one won't be as good. Report as inappropriate
