What impressed you positively?:
Great peds, ICU, cardiac. Residents get first pick at the fellowships - if you want to do peds in NYC this is probably your best bet as they filled their entire peds program this year internally. NYC is awesome and you can easily live on upper west if you go here - but probably less feasible to be in Brooklyn or lower Manhattan. Fun, smart group of residents who seem to have good class cohesion and have a good amount of time to enjoy the city. Some great teachers in the dept and plenty of research opportunities. Well-designed intern year that includes a bit of everything. Overall one of my favorite programs on the east. Report as inappropriate
What impressed you negatively?:
If you want to live near the hospital the neighborhood is crappy but cheap - probably the cheapest place to live in Manhattan. Regional and pain relative weaknesses. Seemed to be a bit of a NY bias in resident selection. No trauma. Vast majority of graduates stay around NY/NJ, if you are looking to leave the area it is definitely doable but my impression was that connections are more limited outside the area (again only my impression).

How was your interview day? Please summarize.:
Awesome dinner the night before with tons of residents who were a ton of fun. Longer interview day with presentations by both chair and PD, PD goes over just about every aspect of the program in detail. Interviews in the morning, lunch, then a wrap-up with the PD. Report as inappropriate
