What impressed you positively?:
-There is a very rigorous, thorough, academic approach to clinical work <br> -Lots of didactic teaching dispersed throughout the week <br> -Facilities are very nice, residents get their own office <br> -Ample research opportunities, but all faculty in the department are also attendings on the wards- including the chairman! <br> -Residents were very enthusiastic about their training and seemed like very nice people, they do have lives outside of work and the camaraderie seems good <br> -You can tell that there is a good relationship between residents and attendings on both a personal and professional level, all the attendings are very approachable, write their own notes on the unit, and are eager to help <br> -A lot of Baltimore is actually pretty nice- if you've never been there you'll be surprised, inner harbor is particularly beautiful and there is a big art scene as well. Living there is very affordable.<br> Report as inappropriate
What impressed you negatively?:
-During intern year, residents work close to the 80 hour week and occasionally go over; During the second year the hours are better, but also long depending on what unit residents are on, so you have to be prepared to do the work <br> -There is definitely sufficient attention devoted to learning therapy, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, but not many psychoanalysts on faculty so this area is emphasized less <br> Report as inappropriate
