University of Hawaii Program

The interview didn't go as well as I had expected it would because the interviewer didn't seem that interested in me, it was like she was just going through the motions. I asked her questions about the program and that seemed to help move the interview along. The questions that she asked were about the number of attempts at passing USMLE I-III; why did it take more than one attempt to pass each step? I felt more comfortable throughout the day visiting the three hospitals that the residents rotate through.

Synergy Medical Education Alliance Program

I believe that my interview went pretty well with this program. Program director, other faculty members, residents and the staff were pretty professional. They asked me why I am interested in Family Medicine. Behavior director wanted to know about my reaction in different clinical situations in an office setting. I felt quite at ease throughout my interview.

Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center Program

good place, lots of work, good staff. It´s a battle hospital, a public health hospital, the interview was just "ok"

Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center Program

Low stress interview. Director and staff were friendly. Area of the Bronx around the hospital looked safe enough.

Mercy Hospital and Medical Center Program

The interview was generally okay.We started by joining with the tumor board,then went on to have the hospital tour.The program coordinator and director were nice,but we didn't have enough contact with the residents despite attempts made by the director.The residents were in a hurry and didn't seem to have time to spare.We had a nice meal and each person was interviewed by 2 staffs.They asked some medical questions,but maintained a relaxed atmosphere.

Its seems that there are a lot more residency applicants this year. This is the general thought from all the residency directors and coordinator. They have stated that there are many Caribbean students applying to family medicine. It appears as though family medicine is not a guarantee any longer.

University of South Florida Program

The hospital TGH is one of the nicest places i ever seen.The ER been just extended and more space to already existed part.All stuff very friendly and give you a lot of info about program i am talking about the residents.I am a FMG but everybody were very friendly they have few in a program i think from India. The medical director very nice and friendly i felt very calm and comfortable. I think program is excellent the teachers are very good i know it cause i am working in ER and we are contacting them a lot.The residents are very nice and helpful they will to work as a team and helps a lot to each other,and it some chance for FMG cause the program pretty young.

Southern Illinois University Program

This program's interview was amazing. It started the night before with a dinner with one of the resident, who was a nice guy to talk to. he answered many questions. Next day, 9am, i met with the program coordinator where she provided a copy of the curriculum and the contract. Then a 30min interview with the research director of the program who was was amazingly friendly and informative. Then i had lunch with another 1st yr resident. Then 30min with an attending. Then another 30min with another attending and assoc director who was very friendly, honest and helpful. And last was the director, she was a very welcoming lady. she was very nice and direct. My advice about this program is, BE HONEST. don't try to out smart them. just be yourself and DO NOT memorize answers to questions you expect.. Overall, amazing and friendly program that is worth the time..

University of North Dakota Program

It was a very nice visit, hospital was big, clean. Residents were very eager to answer any questions. Interviews were relaxed with no tensions.

Jackson Memorial Hospital/Jackson Health System Program

Latin American applicants go through a different office: the William J. Harrington Foundation. People there are really nice and help you with all the process. It helps a lot if you have a previous experience like observerships in the hospital/program.

White Memorial Medical Center Program

Overall it was good. They offer 2nd look as well, so you have one day of "real resident life" exposure. Everyone was nice: the faculty, the director, the coordinator, the residents. Free breakfast and lunch were also very much appreciated.

St Vincent Hospital and Health Care Center Program

i believe that St V's had the best method to interview a candidate because they knew all about me by the end of the meeting. i was made to sit individually with a faculty member for 30 mins & that made them as aware about my personality as any program can get. I i was at ease as it was not a panel interview & the conversation was direct & straight forward.

Penn State University/Milton S Hershey Medical Center Program

Was a very good interview day, very friendly people. Only had 2 interviews which didn't seem like enough but all went well. Very nice program

Residency is an interesting journey.

Tallahassee Family Medicine Program

Residents were very helpful, and let me follow one of them for the whole afternoon. That was very good because I could have a better insight of what they do during the day... even though it was only an afternoon, but it is better than not having any idea.

University of Southern California/LAC USC Medical Center Program

The interview was very well organized,very informative about the strength of the program. The program director himself takes all the applicant for a tour around the hospital different departments as well as the new facility. Amazing experience and very good program,everybody was very friendly and welcoming.

Scottsdale Healthcare-Osborn Program

Nice group. Congenial attendings who work well with the residents. Academics seem okay as well. I would recommend taking a look.

NSLIJHS/Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine Program

The program is very good. They offer pre-match. They only offer pre-match. They prefer fresh graduates.

University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics Program

Interview was very smooth and pleasant. Very supportive program. Respectful and professional.

Overall experience was good, but not knowing your ranking or status until match day was the most nerve racking of the entire process. Its a shame that that process most likely will not change.

University of Oklahoma College of Medicine-Tulsa Program

the interview was fine and very friendly atmosphere. interview panel is very nice and friendly. the interview was very formal , no clinical questions. all questions were about self and experience. program coordinator is also very friendly and co operative.

Albert Einstein College of Medicine Program

pleasant experience. everyone seemed to be nice. i felt very comfort during the interview. the director, and the associate director were very pleasant to meet. they are interviewing 200 applicant for 10 position which i think, it is a lot. very pleasant working atmosphere. a lot of research opporunity available if you are interested. the residents seems to be happy working there. the director is active in term of the residentcy education.

Cleveland Clinic (Florida) Program

Very poorly coordinated program. Didn't get exposure to any of the teaching sessions. A PGY3 interviewed us and it was very weird. Some of the faculty were really nice though. Didn't like the residents much.

120-56-21-438

Everybody is really friendly but extremely professional at the same time. the program is very strong and the are nice to live in. Questions I was asked: Why did I choose their program, explanation on research that I have done ans its results. I was asked about the rotations I enjoyed the most and the least.

University of North Dakota Program

good interview skills fetched me the position.

Lancaster General Hospital Program

I met with eight people during this interview. I was asked the same questions by all of them. Why I chose Family medicine and to tell them why I made a change from engineering to medicine. They gave me a good overview of the program and also a tour of the hospital and outpatient clinics. I felt quite good about this interview.

Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center Program

This program asked medical questions which I think is ridiculous. They did not even ask u for a cup of tea the whole day. Just have 2 fellowships. but training is excellent. That is the only best part about it.

West Virginia University Program

The WVU medical school students like to match their own program. the director and chairman are very nice, residents are nice too.

I am glad I found you guys! got my first interview schedule today after 4 days registration. I was giving up...you gave me hope. Thank you for your support. I am 10+ years grad :).

Hoboken University Medical Center Program

very friendly all the staff in this interview. They were very focused in important things in my professional life. The questions were very straight forward, asking about experience, personal curriculum and your present work if it's related with medicine. Very comfortable all the time.

I think it is a fair game but the competition has become really tough and many people are out there with a good over all cv, so develop your resume to ace the game.

University of California (San Francisco)/Fresno Program

experience you had with this residency program during the interview was fine ,general questions and medicine questions,some what comfortable

St Vincent Hospital Program

nice program. small and with good mix of IMG and AMG. PD is good. they asked medical questions in interview. it is owned by some private firm so look and feel of hospital is really good. no fellowships in house but about 50% residents go for fellowship elsewhere. in all avg program.

NSLIJHS/Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine at Forest Hills Program

Good experience overall. Nice staff. Did not meet the PD. Two interviewers, general and medical questions. One written psychological test (does not count for selection, it's in the testing stage still). Tour of the hospital with chief resident. Clean hospital, good neighbourhood. They offer 12 PGY1 positions. Good benefits. Many russian speaking patients.

Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center Program

Battle hospital. The staff is realy great. HUGE WORK LOAD, LOT´S OF PATIENTS. Spanish is a most! Great opportunity if you like "hands on experience"

If you are a FMG take your time to get excellent grades on your Steps, because that is a fundamental aspect of your CV. Also if you have any chance of doing and Observership or Medical School internship in the US its a plus because of two things: you make friends that can help you in the future and also you get letters of recommendation from them which they prefer. Also very important is that you have to apply certified if you are wishing to receive many interviews.

Resurrection Medical Center Program

Everyone was very nice and willing to answer any and all questions. They made me feel very comfortable and right at home.

Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island/Brown University Program

its small knit community program, all faculty are friendly and knows their residents in person. the interview was conducted in very friendly environment starting with morning report followed by program demonstration by program director and tour of hospital. This followed by lunch with resident where i got good chance to talk with interns and residents about strenghts and weeknesses about the program. 3 key faculty members interviewed me one being program director. most of questions were based on CV and clinical experiences. overall it was pleasant experience.

University of Missouri at Kansas City Program

the program was really good. It has very academic and overall clinical orientation. i hope i do get match there.

overall experience is good , but getting in to residency programm is becoming very competetive.

John H Stroger Hospital of Cook County Program

large residency program, good teaching, busy hospital, interviewing larg numbers, vague criteria, new hospital.

Precise, accurate and straight-forward lists that made my last year residency application go smoothly. Way to go MAR.

University of North Dakota (Minot) Program

Small town but great staff and very nice clinic. The program is relaxed and unopposed. The hospital is a small but the residents are held in high regards.

McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University Program

This is a very good program but I liked U of Chicago more. I think that this program does serve the residents well though and is worth an interview.

John H Stroger Hospital of Cook County Program

A friendly program with all of it's residents appearing to be enthusiastic and very professional. Faculty were also very encouraging overall an excellent program

Henry Ford Hospital Program

Probably the nicest hospital I have been to, very high tech. The interview day is really fun. Good residents, interviewers and the program director is easy to talk to. Check the web page before so you know what questions to ask.

University of Tennessee Program

Everyone was extremely nice and made me feel like one of the team. Everyone in my interview asked me why i went to a foreign med school vs USA.

340-35-21-036

The PD is old and kind man, He is very understanding to issues with IMG, The department gives only J-1 visa, Interviewed by 4 people including PD it went well, But the program is very competitive for IMG most residents are AMG.

Pennsylvania Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania Health System Program

This program is small but well organized. Little busy hospitals but has learning opportunities. Program director was quite friendly and has very informal discussion.Over all very friendly program.

Mount Sinai School of Medicine (Jersey City) Program

they ask clinical questions. but all the people conducting interview were very nice and polite. they make you feel comfortable.

Miami Children's Hospital Program

THE PLACE TO BE... Incredible people, hard working, spanish is a must. Good residents, lot´s of different pathologys

Case Western Reserve University/University Hospitals Case Medical Center Program

the program is great all the faculty were nice and the residents were too helpful. most asked about your future plans and why family medicine not internal medicine

I did not know what to do before I discovered Match A Resident site. I did not only get a custom list but also got the support I needed. Great Job and professional staff. I got match in Pediatrics in March 2006. Thank you!

It was a good experience. I learned a lot.I am going to match in a good program.

UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Program

Very nice staff, faculty, and residents. Very low stress interview. Got to observe senior residents in a psychotherapy feedback session with instructors for an hour while interviewing.

Hospital of St Raphael Program

Good program, my interviews were with faculty members, strong relations with YALE, good fellowship opportunities. laid back interviewers.

Residency experience highly dependent on the program. Thus far, I have been in two interships and they both have their pros and cons. But I am glad that they have been positive experience.

Los Angeles County-Harbor-UCLA Medical Center Program

At this program, directors need to know how willing a candidate is to pursue his residency at their institution. Also past clinical experience.

Berkshire Medical Center Program

VERY COMFORTABLE INTERVIEW WITH ALL THE STAFF OF THE PROGRAM. I THINK THE DIRECTOR OF THE PROGRAM A WELL AS THE REST OF THE STAFF WERE VERY CLEAR AND STRAIGHT FORWARD IN THE QUESTIONS ASKED DURING THE INTERVIEW. I FELT VERY COMFORTABLE. QUESTIONS AS WHY DO YOU CHOOSE THIS PROGRAM, TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF AND ABOUT MEDICAL EXPERIENCE.

Simply a MUST have service. Waiting for your scramble website "just in case". Keep up the hard work!

South Nassau Communities Hospital Program

I felt that the interview was very straightforward in their questions asked such as why did I choose the profession, why did I choose the hospital to interview at, what were my future plans after residency, what unique qualities could I bring to the residency program. It was a friendly interview and it didn't seem like an interrogation. Overall, it was a very good experience and I hope that I can match for a residency spot, but if I don't, I still recommend the program highly to any candidates wishing to apply to South Nassau.

University of South Dakota Program

The doctors are nice, the facility are new, it is a very family friendly program. small program, I like this program.

St Louis University School of Medicine Program

Interview conducted in a friendly manner. faculty is good. Hospital is good. General questions were asked, no USMLE questions.

I got certified in early December which was the main reason i didn't get too many calls. Key is to get certified b4 1st September if u want to draw max number of interviews. good luck!

Sparrow Hospital/Michigan State University Program

The interviewers including the program director, another attending physician and two senior residents are all friendly. No medical questions are asked. It was a getting-to-know type of interview. Although they asked about what assets do I have that I may contribute to the program. And questions like what can I tell about myself so that they will remember me most when they do their rank list. The interview was relaxed. They were all nice.

Mount Sinai Hospital Medical Center of Chicago Program

Increidible hospital. The Resident Coordinator is the example of team work. Great work load with option to do a international rotation

Mercy Health Partners/Mercy St Vincent Medical Center Program

Extremely nice experience. Great interview process, a very pleasant experience. Residents, faculty, and program coordinator very much involved in the presentation of their program and what they had to offer us.

University of California (San Francisco)/Fresno Program

experience you had with this residency program during the interview was fine ,questions some medicine related ,some general why u applied here

College of Medicine Mayo Clinic (Arizona) Program

Good academically. Very small program that just opened up this past year. It seems like a good place to work. Not sure how it compares to the MN program.

Miami Children's Hospital Program

INCREIDIBLE!!!! ATTENDINGS, STAFF, RESIDENTS, COMPETITIVE, WITH THE OPTION TO DO MORE THAN A RESIDENCY

Central Maine Medical Center Program

This was a phone interview only. They asked me how to manage three different patients in three different situations. They wanted to know do I have a sufficient knowledge to manage MI, pneumonia patients. They also wanted to know do I know how to write admission orders. They asked me why I am interested in Family medicine and what is the difference in family medicine and internal medicine. I felt kind of nervous during this interview because I was bit tired as I had just came from another interview the day before.

Scottsdale Healthcare-Osborn Program

Nice group. Congenial attendings who work well with the residents. Academics seem okay as well. I would recommend taking a look.

Case Western Reserve University (St Vincent Charity Medical Center) Program

The interview was very well organized. A lot of information was given by PD and residents. You interview with PD, one faculty, and PC. Medical questions were asked. All the positions were filled by mid-January through pre-match.

Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center (St Elizabeth's Hospital) Program

VERY PLEASANT INTERVIEW. THE RESIDENCY DIRECTOR WAS OUTSIDE, INTERVIEWING EVERY ONE WHEN YOU FINISHED YOUR INTERVIEW WITH THE ATTENDING AND RESIDENT. SAME QUESTIONS, BUT VERY COMFORTABLE INTERVIEW.

Swedish Covenant Hospital Program

Everyone was very nice and willing to answer any and all questions. They made sure to explain the recent changes there program is going through. The program director was very easy to get along with.

John H Stroger Hospital of Cook County Program

interview went well, the staff are excellent good program and learning opportunity and great case load

University of Alabama Medical Center (Huntsville) Program

very pleasant and friendly. The interview went very well, The directer is and was a very pleasant low key man that puts you at ease during the interview and a staff to match. Q. I was asked : Why Family Med. as a specialty...what is your goal after residency...why did you choose your school...Do you have any family here...are you planning on staying here(in town) after residency to practice...A lot of questions were from my PS. I felt very comfortable during the Interview...Remember that you are there because they liked what is on paper...now be at ease, sell your self and be TRUE.

Mount Sinai School of Medicine (Englewood) Program

Very good experience overall. Very nice PD and staff. Two interviewers. General and medical questions. Clean hospital, good neighborhood.

Mount Sinai School of Medicine (Queens Hospital Center) Program

An average program, some good things are that area is reasonably safe, hospital has a good enviroment but otherwise not much else. affiliation with mount sinai is only on paper. no rotation outside the hospital, and so almost no chances of any fellowship. and very busy like any New York program.

University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria Program

very friendly program, gives a good rotation in all needed speciality.friendly to foreign medical graduates.provision for research experience.

Bridgeport Hospital/Yale University Program

The introduction to the program was conducted by a chief resident, the progarm director was kind of busy to attend us (the applicants), my interviewer was an Hospitalist physician with a very limited idea of the residency program. I believe that its a good program but the interviews are kind of inpersonal. At the end there is like a mini interview with the program director and he is always in a rush.

All the programs preferred recent graduates with USCE. A goal with future fellowship is encouraged. Primary care is unpopular these days.

Mercy Health Partners/Mercy St Vincent Medical Center Program

I didn't interview yet, interview still to come, but extremely nice interaction with the program coordinator. The program seems very nice according with the web-site, I'm excited about meeting them.

just to say is indeed a good experience

Roger Williams Medical Center Program

It was good experience. They ask only non medical question and they were basically assessing the personality of applicants.But there was three interviewers and heard that one of them were asking all medical questions. Overall a very good experience.

Louisiana State University (Shreveport) Program

Interview process is good, not too many questions and all are routine questions. Hospital is very good.

Bergen Regional Medical Center Program

Very friendly to FMGs for psychiatry. Program offers a very big patient variety of psychiatry experience, as well as primary care experience in internal medicine.

UCLA-Kern Medical Center Program

the day started with a briefing of the schedule for the day from the program coordinator and the chief resident. they bring you to the cafeteria for breakfast. interview started around 930 am. all applicants for the day were interviewed by the program director. he asked both theoretical and personal questions. he also asked what we know about the program. the interview is approx 20-30 mins. this is followed by individual interviews with the chief resident, program director, in patient psych consultant and the training officer for the child and adolescent psychiatry program. mostly personal questions like strengths, weakness, why psych and tell something about yourself stuff. generally the interview is laid back and i feel at ease. the program doesn't offer pre match as claimed by the chief resident. 5 to 6 slots this year. location of the hospital is not that good. residents and consultants are generally nice and hospitable.

A long process need lots and lots of patience.

Cleveland Clinic Foundation Program

The doctors are nice, you have chance meet large volume patients. have research opportunity. facility is very large.

UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Program

Very nice staff, faculty, and residents. Very low stress interview. Got to observe senior residents in a psychotherapy feedback session with instructors for an hour while interviewing.

Jewish Hospital of Cincinnati Program

very comfortable interview with the residency director an the rest of the staff. Plenty of time during the interview "to express all you wanted". The same questions, nothing strange. very comfortable all the time.

East Tennessee State University Program

Great experience so far. Very strong clinical program and well balanced rotation experiences. An awesome group of colleagues and attending to work with.

UCLA-Kern Medical Center Program

the day started with a briefing of the schedule for the day from the program coordinator and the chief resident. they bring you to the cafeteria for breakfast. interview started around 930 am. all applicants for the day were interviewed by the program director. he asked both theoretical and personal questions. he also asked what we know about the program. the interview is approx 20-30 mins. this is followed by individual interviews with the chief resident, program director, in patient psych consultant and the training officer for the child and adolescent psychiatry program. mostly personal questions like strengths, weakness, why psych and tell something about yourself stuff. generally the interview is laid back and i feel at ease. the program doesn't offer pre match as claimed by the chief resident. 5 to 6 slots this year. location of the hospital is not that good. residents and consultants are generally nice and hospitable.

Mount Sinai School of Medicine (Englewood) Program

very good experience. very nice staff. clean hospital, good neighbourhood. two interviews. general and medical questions. tour of the hospital with PGY1 - seemed very happy. offer no fellowships, but some residents get into fellowships, in other programs.

Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center Program

VERY STRESSFUL INTERVIEW. THE FIRST THING WAS THAT A SECRETARY GAVE US A CARD WITH A NAME OF A DISEASE FOR BEING PRESENTED AS A CASE IN THE INTERVIEW. AROUND 10 MINUTES FOR PREPARING FOR THE PRESENTATION. MOST OF THE TIME THE INTERVIEW WAS RELATED WITH THE CASE PRESENTATION.

Its a big challenge, therefore we are appreciate to all information and support which you provide to us. Thanks

Roger Williams Medical Center Program

It was good experience. They ask only non medical question and they were basically assessing the personality of applicants. But there was three interviewers and heard that one of them were asking all medical questions. Overall a very good experience.

Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center (St Mary of Nazareth Hospital Center) Program

Good experience, and nice enveriement to work. I felt comfortable during the interview. I think the PD is a nice person.

Rochester General Hospital Program

I had a wonderful interview experince with this program. The residents were very warm and cordial. The members of Staff including the Attendings and PG were all very pleasant. It was nice to have been placed in a good hotel from where we were taken to see the hospital and meet the residents. Overall, I was satisfied.

Emory University Program

Nice faculty and residents. Good program. Good all round training and facility. fellowship placement is excellent. Worth placing top on your ROL.

Emory University Program

Residents, attending and the program director were very nice, they answered all the questions that I had. They showed us the facilities which were big and clean. The only problem was that there was a lot of driving involved to go to one hospital to the other, and Atlanta of course is a big city with a lot of traffic.

University of Kansas School of Medicine Program

very formal I.V. I had a feeling that they were not interested in old grads with no US experience. The residents were friendly. The library and hospital were excellent. Overall great program. but they were looking for fresh grads or docs with U.S.C.E.

Drexel University College of Medicine/Hahnemann University Hospital Program

friendly people and very nice programme.......interview process is very cool ..........all the attendings and residents make you feel very comfortable

University of Chicago Program

Excellent program! All residents seemed happy and board pass-rate is high. A lot of time is spent in academics and attendings seem to be involved in teaching. Worth a look!

University of Tennessee Program

great program overall, very personal and tour was great. staff and residents were very forthcoming with information and with answering questions. interview was laid back and not stressful at all.

Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center Program

For a Bronx Hospital, is kept clean and the structure is maintained. My interview went very good over there I had the opportunity to interview with the Program Director and another Physician of the staff. Interviews where basically to know my personality, interests, hobbies, fellowship i'm looking to do and stuff like that. No medical questions where asked here. It was a very easy going interview. We had the chance to attend a morning conference, then watch a video of the program. After the video came the interviews and after that a second year resident gave us a tour of the hospital. He was very frank with us a told us how the work load is which is a lot. But there is one good thing you don't do 24 hr shifts. Again if you are an FMG and speak Spanish you their man because they need translators. The program has around 30 first year positions so its fair. They have research if you are interested in that part but there main strength I guess is that you have so much hands on experience that by the end of you residency you have pretty much seen the whole Harrison. So if you are up to the challenge of a lot of work load but no 24 hr shifts this is your place.

Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center Program

The entire staff was extremely cordial and friendly. I believe the interview went well. The House Staff was very open about the positives and negatives if the institution.

College of Medicine Mayo Clinic (Rochester) Program

The program director is an absolutely great guy. His sense of humor, wonderful manners, and personal attention put me at ease right away. We talked about medicine in general, pediatrics, board passing rates of all pediatric programs, Red Sox, Yankees, Mayo brothers, late jokes and everything else you can think of. He is the reason why I ranked this program #1, I like people with very broad range of knowledge and that is what he has and I value. Interviews with 2 other faculty members weren't as remarkable. I didn't feel good at all. First guy basically mentioned to me that I want to do too much and he knows people like me that had many projects left unfinished. Here I want to mention that I'm at least 10 years older than average applicant and I've already been there... Oh, well... The second guy started:"I'll try to get you into our program, tell me why and how I should do it". I'm not raised to boast, and I saw this guy for the first time, even though I did what I had to do, but I would never do that to anybody else. Later I learned that both these guys are great doctors and good teachers, so it gave me a chance to relax. The resident were great, very mature and realistic, they were very confident and ready to take charge of anything. I enjoyed the conversations with all of them, from interns to chiefs. I'd love to be a part of this team! The questions mostly were about my past, year by year. Plans for the future weren't covered at all. But in general I enjoyed a lot of personal attention, we had only 4 applicants and everybody was very active asking questions, we managed to cover a very good mileage through the clinic with all the interesting places to see, grand rounds were great too. As an IMG I enjoyed meeting many foreign doctors and was very happy to hear accents from all around the world! Great place and great life experience!

Albany Medical Center Program

good program, staff seems very friendly, but they interview, many more candidates for there 6 spots. there over all system is good.

120-56-21-438

overall it was a very good interview. The Program Director was very nice and friendly. I was very relaxed throughout the interview and felt within my heart that this is the place where i would like to be and start my career. Some of the questions that i was asked are as follow: 1. Why did you choose Family Medicine? 2.How did you learn about our program? 3.Tell me about your self? 4.What would you like to do after Residency? 5. If you were offer a prematch here would you accept it or not? 6. What was an intresting case that you came across during your clinical rotations? 7. Why did you go to Ross Medical School? 8. Why do you choose to come to the Midwest? 9. Why did you change careers? 10. How many children do you have ? 11. What would your children like to become when they grow older?

Middlesex Hospital Program

They were questioning about why choose fm, what i going to do in stressful situation, how to handle conflict, goals, hobbies, what subspeciality

I bought a customized list in 2007, and although I was late for that year's match, I got 5 interviews and matched in my third choice as a program in 2008. Worthy to buy that list!

Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center Program

Interview went very well, program seemed to be a good one, staff were very friendly and made me feel comfortable

University of South Dakota Program

Small program, the patient volume is not very large. family friendly program. the doctors are nice. very new facility.

John H Stroger Hospital of Cook County Program

Love this place, I love this kind of Hospitals (community, great pt and diseases exposition). Interviewers and interviews were ok, just general Qs, no breakfast although they offered it inthe interview invitation.

Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Jacobi) Program

Excellent program, but plenty of people invited to the process... Some prematches, but just 1 interview per candidate, some old faculty members also are in the interviewers staff and its kind of difficult to answer their qzs.

St Vincent's Medical Center Program

Good and comprehensive introduction to the Program by the Program Director, the interviews were conducted by the faculty members, pd and associated pd, also the chief resident seems for me that plays a very important role in the selection process. Residents seem happy. General Qzs in the interview.

Christiana Care Health Services Program

Hospital is gorgeous! Very nice people, good interviewers. The program has a lot of nice benefits.

Amazing service! Those lists are a must to any one applying for residency. No more phone calls . I am really happy and impressed with the time and money saved. Thank you

University of Tennessee (Jackson) Program

environment was relaxed. friendly faculty and staff. Nice hospital. affiliated with UT Memphis. great program

Geisinger Health System Program

I thought they were very informative, friendly, and excited about their program. They have 5 interviews in the day which I thought made for a long day but it looks like a great program

Fairview Hospital Program

It was a nice program, the program director gave us a brief summary about the program, then each one of the eight applicants was interviewed by two faculty members, they like to ask about an interesting case so you should prepare a good one, they prefer applicants who have an intention to continue in primary care more than those who are looking for fellowship so be aware for that, everybody is nice there, it is a good balance of work and family atmosphere.

University of Tennessee (Jackson) Program

The interview day was about 4-5 hrs. they usually have two applicants a day. One interviewing in the morning and the other in the afternoon. the atmosphere was pretty relaxed. although from residents i got the view that the program is pretty busy. the residents were very friendly so was the director.

University of Connecticut Program

the hospital seemed genuinly interested in the applicants. there were residents present all morning. the interview process took time and was very relaxing. the program director and faculty members were very helpful

I think its real important to apply early. That was the main issue with me, but I am happy for the results so far.

St Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center Program

the interview started with associate program director demonstrating the strengths of program. followed by interview with 2 of their key faculty members. most of interview questions were based on my CV. Interviews were followed by lunch with residents and interns where i got lot of questions answered. Later there was tour of hopsital, i was impressed with simulation lab they have. this was followed by address from chairman of hospital and program director which was quite inspiring.,

Pitt County Memorial Hospital/East Carolina University Program

Very very friendly staff, residents, and faculty. Only two candidates interviewed on a day so plenty of individual attention.

Spend 2 weeks calling programs and with low scores I admit it was not an easy task. MAR made it easy for me and they are helpful any time I needed them. Mar is must, period.

UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School/Capital Health System-Fuld Campus Program

Overall good experience. Nice PD and staff. Four interviewers. Relaxed atmosphere. General and medical questions. Program teaches both traditional and alternative medicine. One has to commute (about 15 min) between the hospital and the clinic.

The program director is very polite admirable and knows what his program needs. I loved the atmosphere at the Huron hospital general surgery program which i really wish to be part of.

University of Nevada School of Medicine (Las Vegas) Program

THE PROGRAM STAFF DURING THE INTERVIEW VERY FRIENDLY AND I FELT VERY COMFORTABLE ALL THE TIME. THE SAME QUESTIONS WERE REPEATED IN MOST OF THE INTERVIEWS. IN MOST OF THEM, THEY WERE INTERESTED ABOUT "IF YOU HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH MEDICAL PRACTICE MOST OF THE TIME". VERY FRIENDLY ALL THE PEOPLE THERE.

The Program Director is very approachable and open to idea. The other faculty members also seemed willing to be honest about their program. Residents were helpful and eager to be available.

Pitt County Memorial Hospital/East Carolina University Program

very courteous program director, coordinator and residents. made you feel welcome throughout the entire process.

University of New Mexico Program

Residents not very out-going for the most part. A guy by the name of Katz runs the show. I think that they are descent in academics.

UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (Camden)/Cooper University Hospital Program

5 low stress interviews and a tour. Interviewers were more interested in getting to know your personality than scores and such.

Although it is a very stressful process, you will get through it.

St Joseph Hospital Program

Everyone was very nice and willing to answer any and all questions. They were very accommodating and made sure we all had the proper contact information just incase we needed it.

Marshfield Clinic-St Joseph's Hospital Program

the residents were very friendly and helpful. they really seemed to enjoy the program. the faculty was also very interested and dedicated time to knowing the applicants.

My residency experience is very stressful, tiring and expensive. You are just trying to sell yourself without being sure how the final outcome going to be.

Jewish Hospital of Cincinnati Program

It was good, residents were very nice. Hospital was showed in very detail way, they answered all the questions that I asked.

Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Jacobi) Program

20+ interviewees per day, so not easy to really interact with the program director or chief residents. The hospital in general seemed good, all the residents are really nice and they offer a second look option.

John H Stroger Hospital of Cook County Program

Everyone was very nice and willing to answer any and all questions. They made sure to explain the recent changes there program is going through.

Got into Internal Medicine after 3 years of trying. List saved my career. That is what I call support - thank you MAR.

Bergen Regional Medical Center Program

Applicants were only interviewed by the chief resident and program director. There was not a lot of opportunity to speak with residents as they were all very busy.

Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center Program

The interview started with a written exam - 50 items of clinical questions. Afterwhich there was a panel interview with three attendings. Questions were mostly cases. The interviewers were basically trying to assess my decision-making capabilities. The interview process itself was very tense.

Rush University Medical Center/Copley Memorial Hospital Program

The experience was very good. The facilities were top notch. They were very accommodating and pleasant during the interview.

Grant Medical Center (OhioHealth) Program

Good interview overall - Dr Skully was intelligent and sharp. It seemed like a decent program.

440-38-22-259

They have an excellent program with good exposure to various cases. Very friendly residents,and full of energy and enthusiasm. The program director very keen ,considerate and caring about his program and residents. I loved the program so much, and I hope I can be a part of it.

Great service and very confident of the results. Got 6 invitations in the last 4 weeks. Very satisfied with my customized list.

Overall it was great, even though one program mentioned to me that they have invited me by mistake! But they were my back up back up program. I met so many famous people and visited so many places in the U.S. that if not for interviews I would have never seen. I would do it again if I had to, but I hope I'm done with the Match. Just do it and love it! Best of luck to everybody!

New York Medical College (Metropolitan) Program

Hospital is very dirty, old, and around 95% of the staff and patients are Hispanics. You only here Spanish at the corridors. The interview I did very good but I didn't like the fact that only one person interviews you. They do take their time with you though. I spent around 45-50 min with the Program Director which by the way is a very nice person. They give you a tour of the Hospital with the chief resident and after that comes the interview. They don't give not even a glass of water ass when you are there, and I think that talks alot about the program. Maybe the Hospital is broke or whatever. We didn't have the chance to speak with other residents and ask them about the working environment. I felt very comfortable in the interview but they do ask medical questions although they are easy I don't think is a good way to conduct such things. They asked me contraindicaction for NSAIDS, how to manage Hyperkalemia, how to diagnose a diabetic px. But my guess is that the questions are oriented toward the fellowship you are interested in, because I had a friend who likes cardio that was give this whole cardio case for him to manage. My advise is, if you are and FMG that dominates spanish you are a one step ahead of the others because the majority of the patientsa are spanish speaking and they need translators. Also good grades help as usual.

Roger Williams Medical Center Program

I had a great time during this interview. All the faculty members were extremely friendly, open, warm. I really liked the program and the hospital. Residents seemed very satisfied with their choice. I didn't think it was a hard interview so i don't know what the feedback will be. I interviewed with one faculty member and the chief of residents, the latest was more informal. It is my favorite program so far and God help me to match with them.

St Vincent Hospital Program

It was a very nice interview. The people working there and the staff were very accommodating. They will make sure that they will get to know you because they will conduct long personalized interviews.

University of California (San Francisco)/Fresno Program

I thought the interview went very well. The residency director and staff were very friendly. I was asked what I can contribute to the community. I am hispanic and it helped my chances in being match. Unfortunately, I did not have my Step 2 CS and Step 2 CK to participate in the match. I felt very comfortable in the interview. I can only suggest have all your exams passed before going to an interview. Rarely, do you have a second chance to go to the same place.

St Francis Hospital and Health Centers Program

1. I thought that the interview went good overall. The Residency Director and Staff were very friendly and answered all of my questions about their program and also made me feel as part of their Family Medicine Program. I was very comfortable at the Interview. Felt confident all the way through and tried to answer all of the questions that i was asked to the best of my ability. I read my application and personal statement before i attended the interview, Some of the questions that i was asked are as follows: 1. what is/are your weakness or weaknesses? 2. What you as a Resident would bring to our program? 3. If you choose to do a fellowship what would it be and why? 4. Why did you choose our program? 5. Where are you from originally? 6. Where did you do your Undergraduate Degree? 7. Why would you like to do Family MNedicine?

Texas Tech University (Lubbock) Program

PD and faculties are nice. Academics is really good. 100% IMG in categorical route. Good patient load. Only drawback is J visa and small town. They have cardio and nephro in house fellowship but usually residents get good placement elsewhere too.

Jefferson Medical College/duPont Hospital for Children Program

Program was awesome! Everyone there was very friendly and excited about their program. I had a hard time finding any faults in their program.

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School Program

It was a superb experience, and people were extremely helpful and friendly. The residency director has maintained contact throughout my prelim year at the Sina/Hopkins program (which is also a good place to do PGY-1). The staff have been instrumental in getting all my paperwork done. In addition, residents have been happy in the program, and exuded enthusiasm and kindness.

William Beaumont Hospital Program

The Hospital is very nice and big (1061 beds), the Program Director is very pleasant and warm, the residents seemed happy to be there. I felt very comfortable during the whole interview. No medical questions. Dress warm it is very cold. The closest hotel: Travelodge at Woodward av. and 13 mile Rd, almost in front of the Hospital, very affordable rates.

University of California (San Francisco)/Fresno Program

experience with this residency program during the interview was fine, general questions why are you interested why here what u will do after residency.

New York Hospital Medical Center of Queens/Cornell University Medical College Program

The entire staff was very cordial and friendly. I believe the interview went well. The House Staff was very open about the positives as well as the negatives of the institution.

New York Medical College (Richmond) Program

PD and one faculty interviewed the candidates. All general questions. Introductions and hospital tour were good. If they are interested in you, they will invite you for a second visit.

The Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science Program

Well, like a lot of IM programs, It was hard to figure if they were interested in me or not. The interview process started by one of the attending coming in and talking to us a little about the program. Then, 4 out of 8 candidate had 2 interview session with the same 2 faculty members, and the other 4 had 2 other faculty members interviewing them. Personally, i was interviewed by the director and another attending. The director was very nice and welcoming. He inquired about some things in my application then he just asked the universal questions.. why IM? why this program? where do you see yourself in 10 years? etc. But he also gave me 3 clinical cases then he asked me about pt management. which were petty simple and straight forward. So, if you interview at the MSH location of the program, be ready to answer some clinical questions.. The second interview was very dry and short. The attending asked no questions pretty much and asked me if i had any questions, after answering them, it was done.. Then the candidates were taken on a tour of the hospital then lunch with a GREAT 2nd yr resident, who was very nice and very informative. The whole process took about 4hrs long. Hope this helps in any way... Thanks everyone

Baystate Medical Center/Tufts University School of Medicine Program

the interview was fine and very friendly atmosphere. interview panel is very nice and friendly. the interview was very formal , no clinical questions. all questions were about self and experience. program coordinator is also very friendly and co operative.

120-56-21-438

The program was very friendly. The staff and residents were a pleasure to meet and interview with. All in all a very good experience.

SUNY at Stony Brook Program

My interview went just fine with this program. Program director and assistant director were really sweet people. Residents and the staff were reasonable people too. They certainly wanted to know why I want to be a Family physician and what are my plans in the future. I felt alright but motivated throughout the interview process.

Raritan Bay Medical Center Program

The interview went very well. The program appears to be a solid community teaching hospital with a primary goal at having their residence succeed on the IM board. The program has no other opposing residencies of fellowship at the same hospital. So, as a resident, you have the opportunity to have an infinite amount of experience. The interviewer asked a few basic clinical questions to test the scope of my knowledge. Overall, it is a nice small program fro someone who wants to primarily stay in primary care medicine. Although, fellowships are possible. It will more challenging to obtain a fellowship coming from that program.

University of Tennessee (Jackson) Program

excellent program, very personal and made me feel like i was already part of the program, the residents were very helpful and program director was available as well for questions. Housing tour was done as well

University of Florida Program

I met with the director and multiple attendings in a very relaxed, yet professional environment. The interviews focused on why there was particular interest in their program. They also gave adequate time to discuss my previous experience and fielded all my questions about the program.

Jackson Memorial Hospital/Jackson Health System Program

I was interviewed through the William J. Harrington Program, a special program for Latin American Physicians, but seems for me that they had their people already chose. The director of this special program has parkinson dzs and its kind of hard to understand What he says, he didn't seem very interested in the interview. I think that programs must be more fair with candidates and invite just to those that they really believe would have a chance to get into the program.

Prince George's Hospital Center Program

The interview was conducted in a relaxed atmosphere. PD and the other two faculty interviewed us. General questions and medical questions were asked. Overall the interview was not very well organized. A lot of waiting time. But the PC appeared to be very nice and considerate.

New York Hospital Medical Center of Queens/Cornell University Medical College Program

Interview was very informal type, i felt quite comfortable.The program director was very excellent person, he talked frankly and given us every opportunity to know more about program.This program was highly recommended by my friends

Jackson Memorial Hospital/Jackson Health System Program

They were very nice. The staff was very helpful. The faculty were very interested in what the applicant had to say. The pre-interview dinner made for the actual interview day to be very relaxed. Current events in OB/GYN and ethics were some of the hot topics on interview day. A question that did come up is why do you want to be in the feild of OB/GYN with the malpractice being what it is today?

Jewish Hospital of Cincinnati Program

the director and associate director are very nice. nice small program with alot of hand on training. the residents are also very nice about 7 categorical each year.

Harbor Hospital Center Program

The program director is a very nice guy. training is good, facilities are ok and the best thing is there affiliation with johns hopkins which is not just on paper. they actually send you for rotation to jhon hopkins for 3 months in first year and more later which results in half of their residents getting fellowships. i would have loved to have been prematched there.

UPMC Medical Education (Mercy) Program

Interview went very well. The only had one interviewer, which was the residency director. I believe he conducts all the interviews; there were give other interviewees and they were all interviewed by him. The director is really a down to earth nice person. The staff was very nice as well. Questions asked were mainly about what I have been doing and what are my long term goals. I felt very comfortable in the interview and throughout the day. The residents were very friendly and answered all my questions.

Creedmoor Psychiatric Center Program

very good program. it seemed if a person works here they will understand all psychiatry, because the cases which a person deal here will all sort of them.

University of Missouri-Columbia Program

Good program, small city, nice cheif and residents. almost all subspecialties are there. cheap city copaired to big ones like Chicago.

Overall, the residency experience is manageable. It helps to have all LORs and documents early into the system.

St Mary's Hospital (Waterbury) Program

General Q's like tell me about yourself, Why IM, etc... But the location of this Hospital is scary, I arrieved in a sunday afternoon, around 5pm, and there were NO PEOPLE in the streets, very calm and quiet place. I don't like this kind of places. Overall I think you can adapt.

Woodhull Medical and Mental Health Center Program

MY INTERVIEW WENT VERY GOOD.PROGAM DIRECTOR & STAFF WAS GOOD.PD EXPLAINED PROGRAM IN A VERY EXCELLENT WAY.HE WAS WILLING TO SHARE WHAT EVER CANDIATE ASKED HIM.THEY ASKED ME GENERAL AS WELL AS CLINICAL QUESTIONS & I REPLIED IN A VERY COMFORTABLE WAY.

Maimonides Medical Center Program

The residency director is very versatile with a wonderful sense of humour. He new a lot about my country and he obviously had read through my personal statement vey well. The staff and residents did their best to make sure we had a good interiew experience, but at the end I think they interviewed a bit too many (about 20 of us) in one snowy sunday morning.

Kalamazoo Center for Medical Studies/Michigan State University Program

Interview was relaxed. The program director was friendly and very nice. The residents were helpful in answering my questions. No medical questions were asked during the interview. It was more of getting-to-know type of interview. I felt comfortable during the interview but of course there was still the anxiety and nervousness. But overall, I think the interview went well.

Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center/North Side Health Network Program

A medium sized program with a good mix of IMGs. Seemed to be a program which emphasizes the important of practice relevant topics and prepares IM residents for the challenges beyond residency

University of Toledo Program

It was very good experience.The whole faculty was very friendly. The residents were very cooperative and helping and gave comprehensive information about the program.

Danbury Hospital Program

Very nice working environment. The Hospital structure is kept very renovated and clean. The interview went very well all around but the only thing I didn't like about it was that it was a bit fast. You have a minimun of two interviewers but they are like time freaks, and don't let you take to much. But they do let you say want you want because they sit just here you out and after that you are finished. What they want is to know what kind of person you are. They don't ask any medical questions but they do ask how many interviews you have and where. I see the residency as a good place for some one to develop academically. In the interview I felt very relax and easy going every person of the staff was very polite and its seems to me that it was a very good working environment. As my perception because two friends of mine where offer pre-match over there is that, they don't care how many years you have spent out of the university as long as you have a good personality and good step scores. I know this because my two friends who got pre-matches over there have 1 year more than me out of medical school and still that wasn't a concern for them. So my sugestion is they are looking for high 80's or more on both Steps to get you in.

East Tennessee State University Program

Great experience so far. Very well balanced and an awesome group of colleagues and attendings to work with.

Baylor Medical Center at Garland Program

I truly enjoyed the interview process. It was very well organized and coordinated. The Program Director was very open and willing to answer questions. The attendings and residents were also all willing to help and make me and the other applicants comfortable during the process.

Louisiana State University (Kenner) Program

the interview day was about 4 hrs. the interview started first with program director was incredibly friendly. asked just general questions. talked about how Hurricane Katrina almost shut the program down but it survived and was doing really well. although they did not have enough faculty. but seemed liked they performed all the procedures in their clinics. the resident were nice also.

Maimonides Medical Center/Infants and Children's Hospital of Brooklyn Program

Big but chaotic community program. U need to rotate 3 hospital. U need to do all stuff like IV lines etc. No Fellowship at this program.

Woodhull Medical and Mental Health Center Program

hello there! I like the program. I am going to be very sincere in this comment. I got my interview in December 29th 2007. There were 16 applicants that day; all of them for categorical program in Internal Medicine. And all of them Foreign Medical Graduates. I liked the hospital, however, I think the amount of time for week during the first year I think it is too much ( 80 hours/week _regardless the time spent in calls_). The hospital is huge and the variety of cases is very good. There is a rotation in another hospital during the third year. I think it is very good for an intern to face such amount and variety of diagnoses. The program director was very kind, but I think they must change some issues in the interview day. First of all, they are sort of cheap, because they don't pay the hotel. The lunch was ok. The tour for the location was good with the chief resident. The tour was until 11 am. Almost 3 hours. Then we attended a conference for one hour. Then lunch and finally the interviews. I believe they much do the interviews in the morning and then the other stuff. The interviews went till 5 pm. That hour in New York city during winter is sort of late. Anyways, they ask me during interview medical topics. That is paradogical. I thought USMLE Steps were enough to test our knowledge. If a program call me for interview I imagine they are calling me because the check my credentials and USMLE scores beforehand. In that sense I think programs must not ask medical topics. If they hire me, of course I would say yes. It's a good program and a good hospital, but must change the interview process.

Kalamazoo Center for Medical Studies/Michigan State University Program

I think the interview was okay. I did not get a very good impression at the end. I met with only two people, the program director and assistant director. I was not asked many questions and they just gave me an overview of the program. The only question they asked was to tell them about myself. I felt comfortable during the interview since they did not ask clinical questions or scenarios.

440-35-21-234

very friendly. good staff and resident interaction. great location. expensive. high surgical load. international friendly

East Tennessee State University Program

I didn't interview yet, interview still to come, but extremely nice interaction with the program coordinator. The program seems very nice according with the web-site, I'm excited about meeting them.

Jackson Memorial Hospital/Jackson Health System Program

Very nice people, very helpful, encouraging, and supportive. Very organized department from the staff to the residents and attendants.

120-35-12-211

My experience with this program was okay. I did my best to impress the interviewers but I am not sure about their feelings towards me. Program director seems like a tough guy. Faculty members were okay too. They wanted to know why I want to be a family physician and also sought my views about an ethical situation arisen in the program. I felt okay during the interview.

Louis A Weiss Memorial Hospital Program

Program director is from pakistan and all residents are from pakistan and muslims. Interview process is good, all routine questions , no special questions.

I was late to apply. But still was an overcoming experience. Hopeful for 2009 match!

Sacred Heart Hospital/Temple University (Allentown) Program

I was the only applicant interviewed on that day, so I had to interview with 8 of the faculty members. It was a very serious interview but my experience overall was good. The faculty members were really nice and friendly. They answered all my questions and the questions they asked were mostly about what i did since graduation, what experience i have, what am i doing now, which are my strengths, my weaknesses, where do i see myself in the future. This is what i can remember now.

I got certified in early December which was the main reason i didn't get too many calls. Key is to get certified b4 1st September if u want to draw max number of interviews. good luck!

Maimonides Medical Center Program

Interview was more of the "getting-to-know-you" type. I did not feel uncomfortable at all during the entire interview. The interviewer did his best to keep the conversation light. However, it seems that the residency Director prefers US graduates over FMG's for categorical position.

St Louis University School of Medicine (Belleville) Program

The interview went very well. They were warm and accommodating. I felt very comfortable and at ease during my interview with their program.

Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center Program

Good experience overall. Nice staff. Did not meet the PD (others did). Two interviewers. General questions only. Program improved very much with the present PD. They have 31 PGY1 positions. tour of the hospital with a PGY1; she seemed very happy. Majority of patients spanish speaking, poor and noneducated. Lots of AIDS, drug addiction and asthma. The hospital has the busiest ER in the area. Clean hospital. Not too bad neighbourhood.

Massachusetts General Hospital Program

the residents were very helpful, and so was the hospital staff. the program director was very honest and straightforward when it comes to rejecting applicants.

Mount Sinai School of Medicine (Elmhurst) Program

experience with this residency program during the interview was fine, general questions why are you interested why here what u will do after residency.

Kalamazoo Center for Medical Studies/Michigan State University Program

My interview went very well with this program. Program director was extremely pleasant and professional physician. Other Faculty members, residents and the staff were really sophisticated and polite people. They wanted to know why I am interested in Family Medicine and my future goals. I felt pretty relaxed throughout the interview process.

Genesys Regional Medical Center Program

I had a very nice experience at this interview. The medical staff was very well informed, they had a list of questions the applicants usually ask. It was a long interview, with a lot of tasks we had to do. There were individual interviews with the 2 program directors and with another faculty member. They selected a group of 5 applicants to go for a "team" interview with the Behavioral Science Faculty and with a Psychologist. Then the same group had an activity called Editorial Book Review, or something similar. All i can say it was a very serious interview and hopefully i will match with them.

Geisinger Health System Program

Excellent program, excellent interview experience, good hospital, the only weak point is th location, Danvile is a very little town, with aroun 5k people. In Geisinger are 7K employees!!!! Good research and fellowship opportunities.

USMLE exams were not so difficult to get through but it seems that real exam starts later.Getting residency is becoming very competitive.Talking to friends on forums like Doctok makes things easier.

Harlem Hospital Center Program

it was good and interview went on smooth and i was very confident. they told me that they are going to rank me very high, as its affiliated to Columbia I am very much interested in It

Allina Hospitals & Clinics Program

The team at this program was extremely helpful and friendly!! This program has alot to offer any resident who gets the chance to train here. I was deeply moved by their committment to underserved populations!!

University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Program

very good program, freindly residents. nice new program director. they are interviewing about 150 candidate for 19 positions.

Amazing experience this year. Way to go MAR!

UCLA-Kern Medical Center Program

I thought my interview went very well in this program. The staff and residency director were very young. They knew what they were looking for in a canidate. They were looking for an individual, who can be more of a team player with the program. I was asked what If I wanted to do a fellowship. I felt very comfortable in the interview. The residents looked very happy to be in this program. I do no have any bad things to say about the program. My only advice for this program is to make sure you get plenty of sleep and stay at the hotel they recommend.

Louisiana State University (Shreveport) Program

Interview process is good, not too many questions and all are routine questions. Hospital is very good.

Loma Linda University Program

Very good director. Solid program. Comfortable interview. Very competitive. The director asked about my motivation, what I thought made me competitive and why I thought I would do well in a program as challenging as theirs.
