What impressed you positively?:

The most well-rounded residency program, no weaknesses (and I interviewed at all the big names on West and NE, East). Have all the transplants, trauma, regional, peds, icu you could hope for in a program. Also, you get the opportunity for PP experience in CA-3 which was unique. PD is very supportive and actively changing things for the better. Almost all categorical spots now so cohesiveness of classes seem to be much better. Report as inappropriate

What impressed you negatively?:

Relatively few residents at the dinner, but it was a 3 day weekend so I can't blame them for not being there. Many more at lunch during the day to talk to. Not much else negative... didn't seem to be as malignant as their previous reputation Report as inappropriate
