What impressed you positively?:

Residents were a very great group of people; facilities were nicer than I expected; very low key faculty interactions - almost all on first name basis; obvious focus on practicing EBM Report as inappropriate

What impressed you negatively?:

Some of the subspecialties were very under-represented, specifically the ones I'm interested in, which was unfortunate because it seems like a wonderful training program otherwise; basic and translational research is relatively non-existent among the faculty, although there are plans for future collaborative/expansion efforts with UMass Amherst.
