What impressed you positively?:
The PD (Adam Levine) was very impressive and residents had nothing but praise for him and his passion for resident education. He answered any questions you had in his 2-2.5 hour presentation so that the majority of the interviews were spent on getting to know you as a person. The residents and faculty claim that there is a close, friendly relationship amongst one another which was apparent during lunch. The residents themselves are a diverse group and come from all across the country. They do not sugarcoat the fact that they work hard, but their relationship with the PD and faculty compels them to give their all. The word amongst residents and fellow applicants in NY was that Mount Sinai and NYU were the places to be in NYC, the PD also agreed that these locations had more of the close family atmosphere. Assistant PD interviewed me and we discussed fun things to do in Manhattan on a budget; seemed he wanted me to know that i don't have to put a dent in my wallet to have a good time. Approved MOCA site for simulation education. The location of the campus is on the upper east side of Manhattan bordering Central Park. This location allows for a diverse patient population coming from some of New York's wealthiest neighborhoods to the disenfranchised from the neighboring Spanish Harlem. They offer subsidized housing within a few blocks of the hospital. The prices range from about 1600-1700 for studios and 1900-2200 for 1BR. Abundance of excellent moonlighting opportunities in CA1-CA3 years. Many residents earn well over 75k. Dr. Levine said that they are essentially looking for ways to give you money. Research tract present for those who are interested. I was more impressed by the physician educator tract that allows residents to be more involved in teaching and medical school education.
