What impressed you positively?:
Huge case volume with relatively low number of residents so you'll have a good case every day. Strong ICUs especially in cardiac with good fellowship placement. Research is among the best in the anesthesia world both in the labs and clinically. Strong peds, regional, cardiac - I was unable to find a weakness in any of the clinical disciplines at this program. Gorgeous hospital facilities and only one site to train at - there's a train that goes to the hospital and apts right across the street so going car-less is feasible. Report as inappropriate
What impressed you negatively?:
St. Louis - not as bad as everyone always says and definitely affordable, but quite remote and definitely doesn't have the draw of competitors in SF, NYC, Chicago, etc. If you don't mind St. Louis this program can't be beat. Report as inappropriate
