It was recommended to me that I not apply to Oregon(a resident who interviewed there last year was told on his trip at OR that they were having probs and would likely continue to do so over the next couple of years)or Maricopa...as they both seem to have ongoing problems with staff, etc...As an aside I was also encouraged not to bother with Colorado as they seemed to be quite malignant and during the actual interview process several people who interviewed there were told that "well...we're basically at war right now with the staff and aren't really on speaking terms". Previous posts also mentioned LSU-Shreveport sending out information with their interview requests stating they were on probation.

After all, they are the ones who assign accreditation. And YES, it is public info for anyone to see. slk Registered User Posts: 15 (11/30/00 10:54:47 am) Reply Re: Probation On the ACGME website, it say Jefferson has "Continued Full Accreditation", with its next visit due in February 2000.
