MGH can do more to boost scientists careers. - Physician Massachusetts General Hospital Employee Review

Pros

There are great physicians, nurses, and scientists at MGH. Patient care is outstanding. There is great satisfaction in caring for the patients we have here -- they are usually much sicker than at community hospitals (I have moonlighted quite a bit at these, and whenever there is a really sick patient, he/she gets sent "to town"). The culture at MGH is great in that patient care comes first and the staff are usually very nice to each other.

Cons

Especially for physician scientists, it is difficult to get great support for advancing your research program. Almost every scientist is completely paid with "soft" money and junior investigators often are there to support more senior people in their divisions.
