What impressed you positively?:
wonderful interview experience. PD is extremely involved with resident education and cares about the residents and they definitely echo this feeling. top 99%'ile for case logs which turns into awesome experience and training. they do hearts and other complicated cases as CA-1's ... with adequate supervision etc but you get really good and develop a sense of being able to truly handle any case. all cases held at UH, no need to go anywhere else. low on trauma (which im not at all interested in so for me thats a plus). anesthesia is the big honcho in the hospital. have a giant lounge for them vs. 1 smaller lounge for all the other MDs in the hospital. haha. niiiice. residents have attendings absolute support in they are being ragged on, and if you're in the wrong they let you know in private so you can learn from it. awesome program. will definitely be at the top of my list. did not rotate there.

What impressed you negatively?:
none of this stuff REALLY matters -- awkward setup of having about 20 interviewees in a small little room, set up like a classroom with highschool style desks. uncomfortable and awkward. dinner and tour the night before could easily have been incorporated into the formal interview day. food was dry, tasteless boxed sandwich.
