Does anyone know of an easy (ish) way to get case numbers for various programs (hospitals)?  Some places hand out data during the interview day, but not all do.  Pitt, for example, gives out an annual report.  Do other programs have these? There’s also the nationwide inpatient sample, http://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/nisoverview.jsp, but it seems like a pain to get ahold of and might be cumbersome to use.  What I’d really love is to get my hands on the RRC reports/surveys, but that’s probably not too likely.

And no, I’m not going to rank based on just these criteria--in fact, I’m mostly going by gut feeling--but I think they’d be useful.

I’m interested in any other objective data sources people know about.
