•thank you replying to my earlier post, stinkytofu. i have a few more questions.
how do you know if a pm&r program (outside the top 20) is good or not? you said that the top programs are competitive and the rest are not. so how can one determine if a program is a quality one and worth applying to, if one has not yet visited and observed that particular program firsthand?
is there any statisical data one can obtain for PM&R residency admissions (i.e. a book that can provide average USMLE Part I of accepted students, average basic science gpa, and clinical science gpa, number of applicants, number of people interviewed, etc.)? if not, what questions should one ask a chairman to make that determination?
BASICALLY, WHAT FACTORS, WHAT STATS, WHAT QUALITIES SHOULD AN APPLICANT FIND OUT TO MAKE THE DETERMINATION WHETHER A PM&R RESIDENCY PROGRAM IS GOOD OR NOT?•
