Hi guys, does anyone have any thought / comment / concern about their pediatrics program ?

I agree with you that the hospital is not that nice but I think that's typical for a community hospital in NYC.
Pros :
1. Strong affiliation with Mount Sinai School of Medicine
2. 12 months rotation/electives at Mount Sinai Hospital
3. Offers H1B visa
4. Very approachable, nice program director
5. Possibility of doing fellowship in Mount Sinai Hospital
6. Diverse population
7. Location : no other cities can beat NYC !!!, located in Queens which is better neighborhood comparing to other boroughs like Bronx and Brooklyn

Cons :
1. Concerning low board pass rate (62% in the past 3 years)
2. Huge workload
3. Not a fancy hospital like other hospitals in midwest
4. High living cost (but higher salary to compensate for that)

If you are offered a prematch, will you take it ?
