Program Advantages
Amazing world-class faculty, great exposure to a wide variety of pathology through the MEEI ER (staffed 24/7 by residents), excellent fellowship matches, excellent research opportunities
Eye ER, decent facilities, do consults at several top hospitals, great research. MEEI just won huge settlement
Boston, name
Faculty are very enthusiastic and amicable. Large class of 8. 24/7 eye ED. Many fellows. Very academic

innovation,
research,
India elective
amazing faculty, great exposure, eye ER with night float first year
It's Harvard, so the name will carry you a long way. They're loyal to their own for fellowship, so it brings about a lot of opportunity. Good cataract volume, interesting sim training.
Research, good training, a couple huge names (but mostly have left in recent years)

Program Disadvantages
average surgical numbers, lost a few key faculty recently (Dr. Azar new chair at UIC, Dr. D'Amico new chair at Cornell, Dr. Dryja to industry), but they will have space to hire new faculty
Many fellows, disputed clinical volume (range from 80-120), Azar, D'Amico, Dryja have left
Low volume, have to go out of country
High cost of living. Average surgical volume.
lower surgical volume
must know how to work very hard (but self-selected group still seemed happy doing so)
There are many fellows, and it's very academic. May not be as 'hands-on' as some are looking for, if you want to be thrown in to the wolves.
Lot of residents stay for fellowship (but haven't taken several of their own in recent years. 2 unmatched in 2011 for peds and uveitis, which aren't even hard fellowships to get), low surgical volume
Disputed low surgical numbers, month in Maine, rumored to have less autonomy
condescending, malignant faculty
residents are unhappy, relatively poor fellowship match, little autonomy, research opportunities available but must be self-seeking
poor support from faculty, expected to be independent
faculty focused only on top-performing residents
more academic feel, less strong clinically
BU residents do more lasers, comment on MEEI residents being slow and inexperienced at VA/children's
