Commitment to education. 5-year accreditation status. High 90% for Board scores. Everyone passes. Great PT/OT gyms (beautiful), they even built a little city at JFK Johnson to test ADLs in the real world. Connected to a major hospital -- meaning PM&R residents don't have to run codes if they aren't prepared. Home call. Still have to work all day the next day if call was long. Dedicated Board study time in 4th year. Report as inappropriate

I interviewed pretty early in the interview season, and there were only 5 of us interviewing. I would have hoped the interviewers would have at least glanced at our applications. Report as inappropriate
