Since today is the first day to officially start ranking programs on the nrmp's website and my mind keeps playing tricks on me, I figured I'd start a thread to see everyone else's thought process.
1. UPMC - seemed like the best all around program where I interviewed. All aspects of the program seemed pretty awesome. The only drawbacks I saw: Pittsburgh wasn't the greatest city, all of this years CA-3's are doing fellowships (wasn't sure if this was actually a negative or not), multiple sites, and maybe some transition with the current PD likely moving to chair.
2. U Kentucky - probably my favorite visit. Great PD. Cool city. I was blown away by their hospital and their didactics. Some negatives: early morning lectures, ICU rotations didn't seem as beneficial as other places, and their regional seemed like it was dependent on two new attendings plus a couple that are returning after fellowship.
3. Ohio State - Good all around program. Residents seemed very pleased. Nice city. I was unsure about their didactic structure and the obsession with a mediocre football team.
I'm going to U Michigan next week and I'm looking forward to visiting. Overall, I'd be happy at any of these programs. I might try to visit Pittsburgh and Lexington again before the final list is due to get a better feel for the cities.
What's going on with the rest of you guys? It's been pretty quiet around here concerning the 2013-2014 cycle.
