There is another reason also. No one that has any sense wants to do a Residency in a place like NEWARK.

I assume you mean Newark, New Jersey. If so, a med student that wanted to actually learn his craft would do extremely well to be a resident at UMDNJ. It is the trauma center for the northern third of the state, the part with the most people, the most car accidents, and the most crime.

It serves a population ranging from bankers and professional athletes to heroin addicts and alcoholics on welfare, as well as a prison population (Northern State) and everyone in between. The people in the area come from all over the world, and the hospital also treats patients brought in from Newark - Liberty airport, a huge port of entry. It’s also a teaching hospital at an accredited university.

Newark might suck. Okay, it does suck. I should know, I worked there, but if you ever need a good doctor, you’d do well with one who did his rotations there.
