DO Internships and residencies FEEDBACK THREAD

[kindredspirit]

I would like to get a thread started with feedback on the various DO internships and residencies. Unfortunately, there isn't enough written in the residency listings section of this site. Most of the feedback is provided on the ACGME accredited programs.

If you are currently doing a traditional rotating internship or one of the many AOA accredited residencies, please give a quick run-down on your program. Please include pros and cons of program, location details, program director and attending personalities, type of hospital ie: size, community or county hospital, services that you rotate in, call schedule, cap on # of admits, level of supervision, how good the teaching is etc.

This would really be helpful considering that this year's AOA match was at its lowest. I'd personally love to know some of the better programs and the ones to avoid!!!
