Program Disadvantages
Sacramento has both adv/disadv depending on the individual
From a resident: 'If you want to do oculoplastics, UC-Davis isn't for you'
Sacramento isn't a bad location, but isn't great either. 1.5hr from bay area, a few hours from skiing slopes.
None, incredible.
-Tough inpatient consult -Small faculty -No dedicated research time
