Shout-out to the pediatrics residency program with a board pass rate of 0%

In case you weren’t aware (and you definitely should be if you’re interested in pediatrics), the American Board of Pediatrics publishes a list of board pass rates from the past 2 years, broken down by individual program.

Unsurprisingly, the honor goes to Wyckoff Heights Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. As we all know, New York City is legendary for its toxic residency programs in general, and I can only imagine how toxic it must be to do pediatrics residency in NYC, which is often maligned as one of the most toxic specialties along with OB/GYN.

Honorary mention to all the peds residencies with board pass rates below 50 percent, of which there are *quite* a few.
