What impressed you positively?:
Too many to count. First of all, the residents all seemed nice, laidback. 50% were vegetarians which made it easy for me. Also, there are no pharm sponsored lunches, so that temptation/weakness is out the door, but they do provide lunch. The hospital is beautiful. Seattle is beautiful. They offer a 2 month primary care rotation in a rural area which is supposed to be a high point of the residency training. Also, the weeklong retreat at the beginning is supposed to be fantastic. Free parking. Report as inappropriate

You pay a premium for health insurance. Reputation for being overworked and unhappy, although I didn't see it when I was there. Seattle is gray and expensive to live in. Report as inappropriate
