Report as inappropriate

What impressed you negatively?:

Psych ward was not especially nice (aesthetically pleasing). No inpatient child unit at the Duke hospital. Inpatient child training occurs at off site rotation at state hospital. Report as inappropriate

How was your interview day? Please summarize.:

Very pleasant. The faculty with whom I spoke were warm, friendly and excited about Duke neuroscience and psychiatry. Some of the residents and coapplicants are not from really great medical schools. Sounds snobby but this is probably due to the location rather than anything else because Duke psychiatry is impressive and can take you far. Report as inappropriate
