"Very impressive facilities, nice interviewers, clearly driven people work here. Strong work ethic, very nice inpatient unit with a VIP section as well! Good C-L connections. Residents are trained well in medicine, and hence comorbid psychiatry and medical illness. Lunch was good. Everything connected by tunnels so you don't have to go outside into the ghetto..."

"-There is a very rigorous, thorough, academic approach to clinical work <br>
-Lots of didactic teaching dispersed throughout the week <br>
-Facilities are very nice, residents get their own office <br>
-Ample research opportunities, but all faculty in the department are also attendings on the wards- including the chairman! <br>
-Residents were very enthusiastic about their training and seemed like very nice people, they do have lives outside of work and the camaraderie seems good <br>
-You can tell that there is a good relationship between residents and attendings on both a personal and professional level, all the attendings are very approachable, write their own notes on the unit, and are eager to help <br>
-A lot of Baltimore is actually pretty nice- if you've never been there you'll be surprised, inner harbor is particularly beautiful and there is a big art scene as well. Living there is very affordable.<br>"

"Baltimore is a dive, security guards surround the hospital like a fort. Feeling of crime everywhere you go. Tradition is taken to the extreme, they wear the same ties on mondays when they have grand rounds. Residents seemed to have no life outside work. They work you HARD and everyone mentioned this like as a source of pride. Faculty seemed entitled, like there was a "hopkins" way of doing psychiatry-- they even said the biopsychosocial model is crap and that they have their own hopkins method of approaching patients. PD is stuck in the stone age being unable to contact by email, which he purposely does because he wants people to use the phone."

"-During intern year, residents work close to the 80 hour week and occasionally go over; During the second year the hours are better, but also long depending on what unit residents are on, so you have to be prepared to do the work <br>
-There is definitely sufficient attention devoted to learning therapy, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, but not many psychoanalysts on faculty so this area is emphasized less <br>"

"I'm not going to even rank this place. Overall faculty were so stuck up that it was almost comical. Training is good but at the expense of developing a massive ego that you carry everywhere if you leave hopkins and continue to wear your white coat. Baltimore is a crime-ridden city, I was advised not to leave my hotel!! I think this place is great for people who are prestige seekers, love to work hard, and don't care about "balance"."
