What impressed you positively?

Dr. Gary Cloud seemed very nice.

What impressed you negatively?

Very unorganized on the day of the interview, although they said they were short staffed. A staff member went on a big spiel on how health care is a privilege so if someone can't pay that's their problem, you'll never pay off your student loans if you go in to family practice, surgeons make $600,000 a year and that is still not enough....The whole thing really turned me off.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you do not get into the rotation site you want, you are sent to where ever is left over.
