What impressed you positively?:
PD is very resident-centric. They keep the class size small for the size of the institution (14 residents/class) to ensure a premium experience for each resident but it sounds like they don't overwork you. <p>Residents get first choice of cases over CRNAs, get relieved around 5:00ish. <p> Regional experience is among top 2 or 3 programs in the country. <p>Call is on a night-float schedule -- you do 2-3 weeks of call during CA-1 & 2 years, 4 weeks during CA-3. Occasional weekends - sounds like you get a lot of them free. Report as inappropriate
What impressed you negatively?:
Have to wear short white coat during intern year. <p>Doubtful that the environment is actually as benign as they make it seem on interview day. <p>Night float call means you are at the hospital basically every day. Report as inappropriate
How was your interview day? Please summarize.:
Stay in Durham Marriott hotel the night before interveiw (you pay $70, program pays the rest). Dinner with residents the night before. Interview with Chair, PD, Associate PD, and 2 faculty. Fairly laid back interviews...common question was "what would you do if you couldn't go into anesthesiology." Report as inappropriate
