I was hoping people could share their thoughts on California programs... I was born and raised there and have been away for grad school and med school which is too long and I would really like to head back for my ortho residency if possible... I would love to hear any thoughts or feeling people had about California programs, mainly: Cedars Sinai UCI UCLA USC Stanford How competitive is it to get an interview? to Match? Do they favor rotators? Do they favor California natives? Do they have a good reputation for producing good surgeons? How is the operative experience? Anything you either really like or don't like about them? Thank you in advance!
