UCLA

Chairman & PD: Gerald Finerman
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Spots: 3

Reputation: Known as a cushy program where the residents do not operate much.

Pros: Cushy program with strong alumni network. Lots of elective surgery.

Cons: Need for fellowship training after residency. 

Final Word: Weaker program with the strong UCLA brand. Excellent location of Westwood - one of the nicest areas in LA. This program is for those that want to live the good life.
