interview trail part 2

This week Dave went to Memphis and Philadelphia.


 In Memphis there are two hospitals. The famous St. Judes
 and LeBonheur Children's Hosptial.
 
From what I hear this program has great operative experience and the faculty are great.  The cost of living in  Memphis is AMAZING! we could rent a great house for $12-1500/month and be in a great community.  Special education in Memphis is a weakness that is concerning to me.
 
 
 
Philadelphia - CHOP

CHOP is ranked the #1 Children's hospital in the US right now. It would be a great place to train. I know very little about the city at this point. I need to read about it.  Like the other big cities Dave is applying to, there would be a pretty high cost of living and special education recourses available. It would be a fun place to spend a year and a treat to be in a historic city. If there is one thing San Diego lacks it is history!   With just a quick search I found this special education group in Philly. It seems they would have a school for Calvin. Also, it is a good sign that they say districts usually pay for placement in their program. It indicates a good special education infrastructure.



5 down 3 to go!

Match day is 2 months from today!
