What impressed you positively?:
Big program with a national reputation as an academic/research powerhouse. Residents work hard here and as a result are very well-trained. They all seemed very happy. Intern year probably not as bad as rumored. Tons of trauma experience of any type imaginable as UW serves as the trauma center for the entire WWAMI region. <P>To be honest, this was my last interview of the season and I was somewhere between fairly to completely burnt out with information overload from all my other interviews. I'm sure I would have been much more impressed/excited if I had visited earlier in the season. Report as inappropriate
What impressed you negatively?:
The most telling thing for me was talking with two UW residents(well, one current, one former) at my Virginia Mason interview. Both of them said if they could do it over again they would do their residency at VM over UW. Report as inappropriate
How was your interview day? Please summarize.:
Pay for your own hotel. Dinner with the residents at a nice restaurant with plenty of wine. Presentation by chair on interview day, then separate into tour/interview groups. Report as inappropriate
