Anybody know anything about Washington Hospital Center? It is in DC.

It's one of those programs that has been able to maintain it's reputation for years. Dr. Kominski, although hard on his residents, is one of the premiere educators our profession has. Go visit and see what you think!

I shadowed a guy that recently graduated from that residency. He works for an ortho group. His name is Ryan Fitzgerald... he's way cool and I'm sure would tell you pros and cons of his experience there. You should contact him

Wonderful post,
Thanks for sharing this informative post.

Strong program. They see a fair mix of trauma, limb threatening infections, and in-house patients. A friend/colleague of mine graduated from that program recently and he spoke very highly of his training.

Yes, it was a strong program a few years ago. They just changed director, wonder why?

I rotated through there and the residents have SO much free time. All they do is round all day. Numbers aren't great. Hours are long, but they have a lot of down time. They scramble for 3 spots in the past 2 years.

If you want solid training around that area, go to Inova.

Washington hospital center would be at the bottom of my list, if I had to rank it.

Do the residents still have so much time under the new director?

Thanks to both for responses.

Not really sure to be honest.

I would avoid this program if you can, unless this is the only pms 36 program on your list.

Ive heard the new director was good. He runs the Georgetown Limb Salvage Fellowship.

Just because this is not the training facility for you, Young Jedi, does not mean other Padawans will not excel there.

It's my understanding that the program went through a rough stretch and the current batch of first year residents actually didn't know who the new director was going to be before they matched/scrambled.

Turns out to be none other than John Steinberg. I imagine they probably won't scramble as many spots in the future, students interested in wound care would likely be very interested.

He is a true Master of the Force and is a highly skilled teacher of our art.

Just because the director is good, doesnt mean the program is good.

The previous director was good as well....

I know there are programs that arent good fit with some people, but there are also programs that everyone tries to avoid because they are horrible...if you get my drift.

My apologies. I am not so strong in the Force. Please elaborate.
