- Program Advantages:
| rep. case mix. quality of faculty. |
- Program Disadvantages:
| critical care anesthesia has a ways to go here. big class |

Washington| U Washington: | | | - Rotated at this institution
- Applied
- Attended interview
- Interview Experience:
| chair gave a hurried overview of why UW is so great, PD seemed very nice, interviews were bland and useless. despite my ENTIRE CV being about rotating at this institution, no one seemed to know I had been there |

| excellent reputation, trauma, icu, transplant. no case deficiencies. will be superbly trained. Harborview is the best hospital on the planet for training in trauma/ICU/neuro. |
- Program Disadvantages:
| residents work very, very hard, and there are so many faculty, including many research based faculty, that your happiness doesn't seem too important at the main hospital. |
