What impressed you positively?:
PD knew about every applicant's research/experience prior to the introduction section and asked us about it that morning. A Chief Resident for the Day is assigned to the interview group and gives the tours, coordinates the lunch, etc. Ours was very helpful. The Sheppard-Pratt hospital is top notch, beautiful and the faculty there seemed very approachable. Other residents seemed very happy there. IM months are held at a hospital that only has preliminary IM residents so Psych residents feel more accepted and part of the team. Questions were low-stress. Very family friendly program.

What impressed you negatively?:
Not much. The in-patient psych units at U Maryland seemed pretty run down. Some people don't like Baltimore, but I always found it eclectically appealing. I would have liked to have one more interview, two seems a little thin. Report as inappropriate
