What impressed you negatively?:
Location in Rochester is a little out of the way, but Twin Cities are only about 60 miles away. Patient diversity might not be as great as in a big city, but they did mention that there is a big South Asian (Hmong) and Somali population in the area. Still working on expanding opportunities in forensic and community psychiatry. Report as inappropriate
How was your interview day? Please summarize.:
Had a brief overview of program in the morning with the program director, then we got to join different teams (adult, child, geriatric) for clinical rounds. This was followed by our separate interviews with faculty members and the chairman. We then got a tour of the facilities, and lunch where several of the residents showed up. There was one more interview after lunch, then a wrap-up session with the assistant program director. There was also a dinner at a nice local restaurant at night. Report as inappropriate
