What impressed you positively?:
Adam Levine is obviously the coolest thing about this program. You will not encounter a more charismatic resident advocate on the trail. The rest of the faculty tend to be the same - lots of personalities and a great atmosphere of collegiality. Faculty apparently extremely willing to go to bat for residents for jobs/fellowships. Caseload is strong, lots of livers and regional. Residents work hard but hours seem comparable to other NYC programs. Lots of opportunities for extra cash, 75k+ not uncommon for the year. Cool sim center. Report as inappropriate
What impressed you negatively?:
Family atmosphere may not be for everyone - it seems like it's expected if you come here so make sure you feel like you fit in. Peds and pain relative weaknesses. NYC not for everyone and still expensive even with the extra cash. Report as inappropriate
How was your interview day? Please summarize.:
Day starts and ends a bit later - I think I was there until around 4. No pre-interview dinner, get to wear scrubs to the interview (this is not a hoax). Begins with Dr. Levine's 2 hour comprehensive verbal tour of the program, then great lunch with residents/faculty and tour of sim center, interviews, hospital, etc. Of note, interviews with Dr. Levine can be anywhere from 15 min to close to an hour - I would aim to be at least a half hour as I got the feeling they want people who they would want to hang out with.
