<p>Thanks a lot for the info everyone.</p>
<p>Afan: Currently, my goal is to eventually work in a large hospital in Boston or Manhattan. I realize that this goal certainly can, and is fairly likely to, change in the future, but as of right now that is where I’m at. Additionally, I may eventually want to try for a career in academic medicine. So, I guess the question I really should be asking is…</p>
<p>Outside of the “ROAD” specialties (Radiology, Opthalmology, Anesthesiology and Dermatology), how heavily does one’s medical school influence where they can get their residency from? I’m especially interested in how this pertains to surgical specialties.</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>
