What impressed you positively?:
What impressed me the most was how happy all of the residents seemed to be. They did not look overwhelmed or overworked at all, and seemed to rave about the teaching they were getting at Albert Einstein. One full day a week is protected time for didactics, and that is unique. They also see a huge variety of patients being located in the Bronx. A unique opportunity to spend 6 months at a long-term state facility in 2nd year. Call schedule seems very favorable. Close enough to Manhattan that you can get there, but much more affordable housing available. Report as inappropriate
What impressed you negatively?:
It is a big program with 12 residents per year, so might be easy to get lost if you don't make an effort to stay connected. Not in Manhattan for those who like the hustle and bustle of city life, but that can be a good thing as well. Report as inappropriate
How was your interview day? Please summarize.:
The day started off with a wonderful session with the chief resident who went over all the nitty gritty stuff about the program and gave us plenty of chances to get all our questions answered. Then I had a short interview with one of the faculty members, followed by interviews with the associate program director and program director. After that, the rest of the day was pretty laid back. We then had lunch where many residents showed up. Then the day ended with a tour of the facilities at Albert Einstein. Report as inappropriate
