@somebody...
To be invited for ISP, u must have fantabulous research credentials!
=)
It is true that ISP is in the top tier for IMGs...
I dun think they were bashing... They were giving their opinions... their concerns are that It would be better if ISP is classified as part of cateogorical program instead of a separate track...

Look at this website
http://www.residency.dom.pitt.edu/current-residents.html
you see the residents of UPMC (not shadyside, there are no shadyside residents on this page), but you see ISP residents listed here!!!! i understood that it means that ISP is within the main UPMC program!
what do you think?

@somebody
It is a great program... I would accept it in a heartbeat if ever given an offer!
Too bad no such creds.. Do u mind sharing ur creds?
I believe that whether their concerns r valid can only be determined by asking current ISP residents. There will always be some distinction btw AMGs and IMGs, more in some programs and less in others.
