I was very impressed with this program, the facilities, the faculty members and so on. They have an exam during the interview, but is very easy if you have had US clinical experience (I thought they were mainly testing this and seeing if you know how to work in a US system, even though they asked other general questions as well). I stayed the night with a resident who was very informative. The interviewer's style was friendly and always to keep you as relaxed as possible. I had a very non-stressful experience here.
-Interviewed at Los Angeles County-Harbor-UCLA Medical Center Program
A small nice community program. Interviewed with about 2 other candidates. On interview morning, transported from hotel to morning report after with a resident gave a tour of the hospital. After the tour we were then taken to the clinic site where the program coordinator gave a presentation about the program talking about visas and contract benefits. Clean hospital with polite staffs and happy residents. Mostly IMG residents. Interviewed with the PD and 2 attendings - no medical questions. Lunch was provided with some resident and faculty in attendance to answer any other questions. Lovely city.

After breakfast, a resident took us on a tour of the hospital. Very clean hospital with polite staffs and happy residents. A balance of IMG and AMG residents. Interviewed with PD and 2 other faculty - no medical questions. Also attended the radiology conference at noon - informative. Lunch was provided for candidates, attendings and residents just before the end of the interview day allowing for more questions. There was exit interview with the PD
-Interviewed at UPMC Medical Education (Presbyterian Shadyside Hospital) Program
I was interviewed by 5 different people, residents and faculty. Generally a nice area to work, small town of about 5000 but friendly area. Good program, well funded. Very strict and by the book. I heard that the PD has changed this year. The last one was nice, but seems like they are looking for something very specific. The really watch you closely in the interview. I have a friend in this program and he likes it.

-Interviewed at Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island/Brown University 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.
