Residents were very friendly and they all seemed to know each other very well. The interview day structure was very standard - a presentation in the morning by the PD and the chief resident followed by interviews and a tour. The day ended with lunch in the cafeteria.

  • Loved the hospital, the residents and the city. Dinner the night before was intimate and a great feel of the program. Interview day was relaxed. Post interview get together arranged by the program. Only downside is limited in house fellowship. Would have been more than happy here.

  • The interview was wonderful, the program director is an excellent person as well as the medical staff, they made me feel great, comfortable and confident during the whole process. Show them why they should pick you up as the best candidate. Make an extra effort to demonstrate that you really want to work with them and you love Internal medicine.

  • The interview was conducted in a relaxed atmosphere. PD and the other two faculties 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.

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.

-Interviewed at UPMC Medical Education (McKeesport Hospital) Program

I love this program. Interviewed with 5 other candidates. Had dinner with residents the night before. On interview morning, the PD came for breakfast with candidates at the hotel where he gave a short presentation and answered questions about the program. 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.
