What impressed you positively?:
Very friendly program. Program director seems to really care about making residency a good experience for his residents. Public hospital in the middle of an upper-class section of the Bronx, so a wide variety of patients and diseases are seen. No fellows at the hospital so every patient is managed by the Peds residents. Excellent relationship between residents and specialty attendings. Board review is 12 half-days in the third year.

What impressed you negatively?:
Very few call-free months during first and second years. No upper limit on # of patients interns carry. No school housing available and no housing stipend. Cafeteria is Au Bon Pain and there aren't a lot of other options in the neighborhood Report as inappropriate
