If you want good exposure, you need to train in Level 1 trauma center of a large city, preferably one that is also the local/regional burn center. If you want a lot of stab/GSW case exposure, you'll want to go to a city with a high crime rate.
SwatSurgeon has some great east coast recommendations. I would also look at Atlanta and, if you want to head to the midwest, St. Louis. Regardless, if SS is willing, you might want to keep in touch with him throughout your process of selecting residency programs which you are considering for the match as he will most likely have good insights he can share.
HTH, good luck, and enjoy your 4th year - it was one of my favorite parts of medical school. Make sure to take a radiology rotation and if you want to have a light duty rotation between some scting internships/heavy call rotations, I would consider taking a dermatology rotation as well.
