The hospital is the main hospital for the University of Pennsylvania, it is busy and has all specialties.  Whatever department you work in, be prepared to work very hard.  Cardiothoracic surgery is busy, with ward rounds at 5:30am and theatre starting at 8am.  This is excellent if you like cardiothoracic surgery, not good if you want a holiday.  Other departments are a bit mroe relaxed than this.  Write to the Office of International Relations (1007 Blockley Hall, 423 Guardian Drive, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6021).  Accommodation may be arranged for around $500+ a month.  Stay in International House - it’s friendly!
