What impressed you positively?:
Strong emphasis on biological treatment. Other residents were very friendly, program has more work than other midwestern programs but it is still reasonable and residents have lives outside of work. Quality of life in KC is very good and cheap. Report as inappropriate
What impressed you negatively?:
Need to commute 40 min to Topeka for 4 months during Medicine rotation. Very subjective - Weather is colder than what I'm used to but is still manageable. Also, while everybody I met with and 3/4 interviewers were simply amazing, I did have one interviewer who seemed particularly combative, maybe they just didn't like me for some reason or it was a test, but whatever it was, they were definitely an outlier in an otherwise uniformly friendly program.
