Anesthesiology program rankings

[eskimo]

Are there ranking of the various anesthesiology residency programs out there? I tried searching but came up empty handed. I occasionally hear of upper tier and lower tier residency spots and was wondering if these programs are ranked independently somehow or if they are considered this because of the overall hospital status. Thanks

anesthesia is unlike many other fields in that there are top, middle, and low tier programs, but really it is about personal choice. The "top" tier is really considered that based on research funding and your desire to be an academic clinician. If you want to do research, stay in academic medicine then those are top tier, for you. But really, you can get excellent training anywhere you go, for the most part, and do what you want to do. I think ranking for anesthesia programs is very personal, in what you want. To better answer your question though, there are no individual rankings for programs, just the same old top, middle, and lower tier programs you see out there on these forums, and that is like you suggested, a lot to do with the hospital reputation. But for anesthesia, it has a lot to do with surgical cases they get, case mix index (sickness of patients coming to that hospital), whether or not they do trauma, transplants, neuro, etc, and then like i said, research and research funding. But what i think matters more is faculty-resident relationships and your personal goals for residency and your career. sorry if that didnt answer your question, and i really may heve no clue what im talking about, but i figured id try.
