Program Advantages Great clinical experience. Good surgical volume, approackable faculty, Boston is a sweet town Location. Average surgical volume. Seemed like a lot of changes going on. Interesting patient population Boston, diverse population Residents, especially the seniors, are very nice and helpful. It's in Boston. Brand new facilities that will finished 2011, with a whole new floor dedicated to ophtho. PD is a very people person. Huge pathology volume, great surgical training, strong fellowship match. They also work extremely hard. Amazing brand new clinic, well-trained faculty - excellent numbers

Program Disadvantages Private clinic experience. 1/3 patients don't speak english, compete with MEEI for open globes Clinics are tiny, not enough space. Small number of faculty. High cost of living. Very busy, old facilities 2nd tier, mostly indigent population; resident bragged that they had translator phones on poles to bring with them from room to room Clinics can get very busy with long waits. County-like population. ?Maybe don't have as much research as MEEI, but crazy solid program. No research (but new Chair Dr. Christiansen trying to improve), very young faculty - busy call, 'busy program' 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
