I loved the zoo and Grant's Farm, otherwise I hated it there. :-) I would rank the "best" program where he will have good connections, receive good teaching and training ( especially OR time if that if that applies), AND be happy. If you can help it, residency is a long time to be miserable. I would try to ensure that he will get along with the residents and staff. During residency DH worked long, long hours but he got on great with the residents and his staff. I can't recall him ever complaining once about long hours or long cases during the entire 5 years of residency. He was tired after being on call and operating for an entire weekend, but he never complained about the work. Best of luck with the match. If you don't get your top choice, try to make the most of it. Life is happening now, don't wait for training to end to live. Take care.davitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14312032036319180896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2562148957353976568.post-58841266523829895782013-02-05T11:17:22.049-08:002013-02-05T11:17:22.049-08:00When my husband and I made his rank list, I would ...When my husband and I made his rank list, I would have told you to rank the location you liked better. But now, being a 5th year resident, I would definitely say to rank the better program higher! That is what will determine his future job prospects. And it sounds like the city it is in isn't terrible either. Location is temporary! I don't have any advice as to the DO question though...Good Luck!Chrissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14522403512890481097noreply@blogger.com
