My top 5-Inova, Swedish, Kaiser San Francisco, Grant, UPMC...
Interesting... I'd probably go with DeKalb, Kaiser-SF Bay, Presby-StLukes, Inova, and DMC.
In the end, it depends on what the student wants, though (this assumes they're an elite student and end up with basically their choice of programs):
-Do you want to be trained largely by DPMs or by more by orthos/MDs (esp for RRA/trauma cases)?
-What region of the country would you want to train in?
-What type of cases interest you the most (elective recon, diabetic, trauma, etc?)?
-If you have a spouse/kids/hobbies/etc, how much are you willing to sacrafice for the sake of training?
-Do you place more emphasis on reading/research or do you want extremely high clinical patient/surgery volume? (only so many hrs in a day... you can't really have your cake and eat it too)
-Do you learn better being pushed to the limit, or will you read and prep on your own?
-Do you want a few attendings who are solid gold, or do you want many, many attendings, incl some of marginal teaching quality?
-Are you willing to train in a P.O.S. inner city hospital to get good cases, or do you tend to value nicer hospital and suburb living?
-Are you willing to put in the hours you see the residents doing during your clerkship - plus addt'l ~20% unseen time (for paperwork/logging/etc)?
...Those are just some of the questions you need to ask yourself and think about. Good students will always have many good options, but it's an individual fit in terms of residency choice.
