Lots of down time with residents in meantime (too much down time?). 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17
Program Advantages Great location
Well-known faculty
great location, nice facilities, beautiful hospital, very strong leadership under Volpe with plans to improve reputation, India rotation in second year in which you can get 50 cataracts in addition to the 120 or so in the U.S., strong retina with Jampol; Michigan Ave, new chair (Volpe) trying to build reputation -Amazing chair (Volpe)
-Location in downtown Chicago
-Focus on education with faculty (not just research)
-Lenient post-call schedule
-New facility 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17
Program Disadvantages Farmed out to Louisiana VA
? Resident happiness mostly wealthy/insured patients, limited end stage pathology without county hospital, however residents rotate through several charity clinics; currently doesn't have a huge reputation; Low cataract numbers; decent fellowship match -Saturday lectures (whyyyy)
-strange India intro to phacos
-Busy call until 3rd year
-Share call with VA Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary takes most of trauma, surgical numbers also compromised with IEEI 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17
