More intel.

Looked at the rest of the programs today. I snooped around the ACGME website and found 1 more program on probation. That program being on probation is a COMPLETE shocker. They sure as hell don't mention it anywhere on their website! I found one other program with "provisional accreditation". Not sure what that means, but it is a brand spanking new program.

Here are some interesting stats after combing through the ACGME website:
There are 10 programs that are 3 year programs, the rest are 2 years. There are 21 slots in the match for 3 year programs. There are 39 two year programs in the match. I have to guess at the number of slots in those, because a couple of programs are listed as combined/integrated programs and they don't specifically say how many independant candidates they take. When I have been able to figure that number out, it has always been 1 slot, so I will use 1 as the number for those schools. Here goes - there are ~82 slots open in 2 year programs. 7 of those 2 year slots are at programs on some sort of probation or "provisional accreditation."

Total number of spots based on looking at ACGME website and individual program websites: 121

Programs that are 3 years: UC - Irvine, UCSF, USC - LA, Emory, Loyola, UIC, Harvard, Minnesota, Duke, Penn, UT-San Antonio.

Programs that offer only 1 slot: UC-San Diego, Rush, Minnesota, Nebraska, Cincinnati (?), Pitt, UTSW (?), UVA (?)
