I'd start with a good hospital. And how you defines good is going to be personal. For me, I'd lean towards larger teaching hospitals in larger cities because I think teaching hospitals generally have good values that resonate with me.
- pdevr 9y agoThanks, having a similar value system to yours is indeed important. Larger cities obviously have an advantage in this respect. I guess even in small towns, it is one way to filter.
- mikeleeorg 9y agoFor me, I agree as well. Some might balk at the idea that you may get a resident treating you, but with a supervising attending, you're pretty well covered. Also, good teaching hospitals can attract some great medical teachers with lots of experience. And while being a great teacher doesn't necessarily make you a great doctor (or vice versa), the caliber of these people will likely attract motivated students.
