of course there are non-black IMG's in those historically black programs, but that isn't the point..
the point is what it might mean for the rest of your career if you go to a historically black program, which pretty much only admits ethnic/racial minorities...people might assume you were not competitive enough to get into a residency without needing affirmative action...this might affect fellowship opportunities, job opportunities...just because of the perception that you couldn't get in anywhere else but a minority-oriented program...
But hey, if you don't mind those perceptions by others, i'm sure the historically-black programs themselves are good.

Creighton, Nebraska vs St. Elizabet Boston??
any comment? 
0 - ArchivalUser - 02-21-2011
Hi everyone,
I am so confused between the 2 programs. Which one should i rank higher:
SUNY Downstate or Virginia Commonwealth University?
illusion54: I would rank creighton university higher. It is a university program with a great schedule. Residents are happy at Creighton.
0 - ArchivalUser - 02-21-2011
illusion54: Also, the ancillary staff at Creighton is great. The attendings treat the residents with respect

Thank you so much captainjackson
You're right. I think I asked a silly query in the first place...but you might have guessed I prefer to live in Boston with smaller program than living in Omaha with a good program...I'm also gonna rank EVMS higher than UMDNJ, coz I can't imagine living in Newark...in first 2 years of residency we would be very busy and I can't deceive myself thinking I'm gonna have great times in NY/NJ...
It's hard...I wish everybody match in his/her first choice program
Thanks buddy and sorry I don't know those 2 programs and have no idea about them
