Every Rossie should, in my opinion, request to do their Medicine and Surgery core here. St. Mary's is a Yale hospital. Its a very, very nice hospital and a great place to learn.

You can't top the medicine rotation here. The residents are Yale residents and many of the attendings are Yale faculty. Long hours, frequent call, but you learn a lot.

Surgery here is a pain in the butt (that better Dru?), to say the least, but its a great rotation. Working hours are 4:45 AM - to about 6:30 on a regular day, with call q4. Expect to get 2-3 hours of sleep on a good night of call. Lots of trauma and lots of opportunity to do procedures. Overall a great learning exerience, even if you don't like surgery. Three months of hell, but looking back it was well worth it.
