"SDN, practiced interview questions, printed out copies of some research stuff I've done to give to my interviewer. They give you the name of the person who's interviewing you before lunch, so be sure to ask the students you eat with about your interviewer - gave me additional interesting things to talk about with my interviewer." Report Response
"-Awesome facilities, not the newest, but modern. All digital X-rays, all digital paperless filing. -Tons of research opportunities (something I'm interested in). -They find you patients -You get your own sim lab station and do on and off day sharing with a chair in the clinic. -You can get your Anesthesia certificate -In the Clinic from week 1, doing assisting and another patient care things to prepare you. -More specialty residency seats than many other schools (11 ortho, 12 OMFS) -Great admission staff, after I emailed to get some additional info on specialty numbers because I was trying to decide between Pitt and Columbia, Dr. Etzel actually called me and talked to me for like an hour. -Everyone who applied to Ortho last year was accepted somewhere (Big Pro for me) -Very positive students. " Report Response
"-No set time to study for boards. -In talking to some students, they had a few complaints about some of the clinic staff, that some want you to do something one way, and another prof wants you to do it completely differently. -If you don't confirm that your patient has paid half up front, you can be on the limb for the price of the work you do." Report Response
"The interview day really impressed me, and ultimately the experience I had made me go with Pitt over Columbia because it felt like a better fit." Report Response
