Harbor-UCLA

Chairman: Daniel Zinar
PD: Louis Kwong
 Location: Torrance, CA
Spots: 4

Reputation: Although not as well known as UCLA or USC, the Harbor program is the strongest program in Los Angeles due to its reasonable case load and abundance of operative experience. Team-oriented, "blue-collar" program.

Pros: Good all around program with strong reputation in Orthopaedic circles. Well balanced with trauma, spine, hand, pediatrics, joints, sports. Reasonable call schedule. Excellent location in South Bay of LA close to Manhattan, Hermosa, and Redondo Beach.

Cons: Smaller, less academic type program. Not much redundancy in terms of having multiple attendings in various specialties. 

Final Word: Strong program, strong reputation, in CA. You would be lucky to get a spot at Harbor and live in the sunny beach area of the South Bay.
