| Lots of waiting around like most places. Almost got in a car wreck on my way back to the airport. | - Program Advantages:
| You see a lot of patients with weird stuff and more bread-and-butter than you would expect. The environment is very nurturing. | - Program Disadvantages:
| Narrower training than some places. No cosmetics. You will never take a Mohs layer here. I felt like the residents were not as knowledgeable as at other places. Maybe because it's so warm and fuzzy? |
