What impressed you positively?:
The hospitals that residents work in offer unique experiences: Grady (county hospital offering an emphasis on teaching and resident responsibility), Egleston Children's Hospital (pediatric experience second to none), Emory University Hospital (Tertiary Care), Crawford Long Hospital (Some private practices here, patients tend to be well insured), the VA (veterans rock). I haven't really found another residency program that offers diversity to the extent that Emory does. Residents are fun to work with. Attendings, including the chairman, are extremely approachable. Administrative staff are always smiling, welcoming and ready to help. Report as inappropriate
What impressed you negatively?:
One of the recruiters made a comment when discussing Grady's patient population: "Your chances of surviving a medical emergency are inversely proportional to your value to society". Hearing words like these always rubs me the wrong way. Comments like this should probably left at home on the same shelf as politics and religion on interview day. Report as inappropriate
