Paper chart (although OR electronic record), hospital is kind of old, nonprivate ICU, no pyxis - have to get all drugs from pharmacy, no adult trauma, residents seemed almost too happy + friendly... maybe a little nerdy. Report as inappropriate
How was your interview day? Please summarize.:
6 1-on-1 faculty interviews. Got asked the usual questions: why you want to do anesthesia, strengths/weaknesses, what you’re looking for in a program. One person perused my rec letters + CAF and asked random questions here and there. I felt they all were familiar with my application. Pretty low-stress interviews. Dinner the night before with residents, and lunch with residents after the interview. Don’t expect to leave until 3pm (after lunch). They gave us plenty of time to ask a million questions. Included tour of the glued hospitals. Report as inappropriate
