| When using the US News Reports annual rankings on hospitals by specialty, is important to truly understand what these rankings mean, how you should interpret them to help you choose residency programs to apply to and attend. We believe there is some utility to this ranking, however, they should hold a limited value in you selecting the best program for you! Other factors you should consider are the options for fellowships, and previous graduate placements, city, call schedule, department status (malignant, education focused), etc. You can also read this article that further talks about the US News Reports annual ranking. Good luck! |
