I was a gen surg prelim at Travis (UC Davis) a couple years ago, congrats to everyone who is going there--you should have a good experience. TY prelims spend more time at Travis, but for GS prelims, you will spend all but maybe one month at hospitals in Sacramento.
-Places to rent (again, for gen surg prelims, as others may need a place closer to Travis)
A lot of us lived up in Natomas where you can get a house and yard for pretty cheap, it's an easy commute at the hours you'll be commuting. Single guys/girls lived in Midtown or Elmhurst, can find nice places in some fun areas.
-Strategies to stay competitive for reapplying to residencies
Do well on each service and get to know your attendings, fellows and chiefs. One of the biggest things I took from intern year was the networking and letters. If you (as a gen surg intern) are interested in general surgery, you can take the ABSITE and rock it and boost your application that way. If you can get involved with a research project it could be a good opportunity to make the most of your time that way too.
-Best cell phone coverage (ATT, Verizon, Sprint?)
Had Verizon, was happy with it. No one has signal in the UCD ORs though so you'll be relying on texting over WiFi with Messenger or WhatsApp.
-Anyone have pets?
Yeah, a dog, and the American River has some great places to take them to let them swim. Made a lot of trips up to Tahoe for hiking as well.
-Sports
If this is about the Kings, don't expect too much... But there are some great outdoor rec opportunities. A lot of kayaking/canoeing, camping, backpacking, biking, free snowboarding with .mil ID at a few Tahoe resorts, and probably others I didn't even get time to enjoy.
It should be a great year. Happy for you guys.
