Program Information
Staff/Faculty/Chairman: The staff is great. We have big names if that is what you are looking for..... I.e Maloney, Schurman, Goodman for joints; Safran, Fanton, McAdams for sports; etc. Despite the big names, they are all great teachers. They are all willing to help you with any project you want....
Didactics/Teaching: We have grand rounds every Wed from 6:30 till 9:30. In addition there are XR rounds every Mon at Stanford and Teaching rounds at the vally every mon. The VA has a conference every Wed and random path reviews.
Operating Experience: This is the best part of our program. Although we have fellows you are usually one on one with an attending except on the arthritis service.
Clinic Experience: Excellent. Lots of teaching on Sports and Peds. The teaching at the Valley depends on the chiefs you have.
Research Opportunities: Abundant!!!!!!
Residents: All the residents are great. We all cover each other as needed.
Lifestyle: Our intern year is cush as we have a night float system. R2 year is a bit rough, but it will improve as we progress to R3-5 yrs
Location/Housing: Location=great; Housing=expensive
Limitations: Housing
Overall Rotation Experience/Conclusion: As a resident I think this is a great program. We have much more one on one operative experience with attendings than any other program. The only weakness is the cost of living in the bay area...
Qualification
