Program Disadvantages
moderate amount of travel time between sites. This is not a program for people who want hand-holding.
no VA, county, 1st year somewhat rough
Eye ER, again, strength and weakness. I'm not sure if I felt like I would fit in.
Residents overworked, Eye ER that is BUSY, surgical numbers seemed low (130 cats)
Very little support first year and work extremely hard that year. Residents seemed overworked and unhappy
-Lower surgical numbers -Sink or swim environment (but getting better) -Some quirky faculty -Slightly more fellow focused
poor surgical training, 'thrown into the wolves' program with little support at times residents seemed unhappy
expected to be very autonomous, poor teaching
