Program Disadvantages
They are very fellowship oriented. I am undecided at this point but I want the option to just do general and they seemed to look down upon that idea.
relatively new program, cleveland, 9 mo per year at Cole eye, where there may be less autonomy.
Less autonomy than other places. Emphasized that you should do a fellowship upon finishing residency.
they expect that all graduates will go into academics
cleveland, still growing program
No VA system (yet), surgical #s are average, Cleveland sucks in the winter and can be dreary
Some residents didn't seem happy; decent surgical volume, little autonomy at Cleveland Clinic
