- Program Advantages:
private group runs the whole system so you get a sense of how private practice goes and often they ultimately hire their own... Resident-run..you'll see a ton of cases and have alot of autonomy

New York
  Albert Einstein COM:

- Applied
- Attended interview
- Interview Experience:
Efficient w 2 interviews chiefs were really nice although 1 was very nerdy good vibe & friendly environment I love the place quite honestly
- Program Advantages:
strong in all areas many would disagree w me but I believe it's the best training program in NYC due to small number of fellows so lots of hands-on IR experience, lots of volume so lots of opportunity to dictate, internal moonlighting built in to schedul
- Program Disadvantages:
Bronx (definitely not NYC) Doesn't have the name that Cornell or NYU has

Decently organized

well run
- Program Advantages:
very very committed to changing for the better by recruiting big shots at other ivy league places PD is super nice & friendly Columbia is fantastic in all fields of medicine Just recruited head of IR from Sinai to take over and make Columbia better

Lots of change translates to high risk w potential for high reward but also shaky... Its name in rads is truly not great (probably worst name out of big 5 in NYC (sinai, cornell, nyu, montefiore, columbia))
