What impressed you positively?:
If you like Baltimore, this is easily one of the best programs in the country. Happy residents, good call system, reasonable work hours - all big changes from some of the earlier reviews you may see on here or scutwork (PD changed 3 years ago and improved lifestyle considerably). Hospital is unreal with new buildings opening by the time you'll start and there are several very influential faculty members. Great fellowship placement. Program has basically everything you could want casewise and has top-notch ICUs (birthplace of CCM). Regional still a relative weakness but the HSS rotation is still going and extremely popular with residents, plus despite the lack of blocks there are some big regional names here. Scheduled didactic days where everybody gets out of the OR to learn in their college that includes residents of all levels and fellows. Report as inappropriate
What impressed you negatively?:
There isn't much I can say about Baltimore that hasn't already been said. There are some really nice pockets but anyone coming here needs to be comfortable with rough neighborhoods. Lots of CRNAs and I got the impression they have a fair bit of clout. No moonlighting (JHH policy). Report as inappropriate
How was your interview day? Please summarize.:
Put up at a great hotel with nice dinner night before. Residents took us on a tour of the nice parts of Baltimore after dinner, a nice touch as you won't see them on the drive in. Interview day starts at 8 with PD talk, 4 chill interviews, tour, lunch with residents, out around 1. Report as inappropriate
