Interview Experiences
Excellent. 2 day experience. You do not come out of this experience thinking that you were not given the time or opportunity to ask or clarify anything.
2-day interview gave you plenty of time to take in what you were seeing (and think of questions).
cold and rainy, long 2 days
Did not meet the PD, away on medical mission with chiefs. Residents seemed to love him, but know two other people who interviewed there and didn't rank it as highly because of the PD.
2 day experience. Very thorough view of the program.
Was really impressed by both the program and the residents. Everyone seemed down to earth and they appeared to be interested in finding hard working residents who fit into the program. It was a two day interview so I got plenty of exposure to the reside
A two half-day affair (arrive ~noon on the first day, leave ~1 PM the next day). During the first day you meet (as a group) with the chair and PD for introductory/information sessions. Then off to the hotel (provided by program) and restaurant for dinner.
Great program!
2 day interview. Very organized. first day is just intro...casual clothes. Some people wore jeans even. Second day is interview day. Suits all around.

Program Advantages
Excellent overall program..in all aspects of the term..clinical training, research, simulation lab, didactics..etc
wide variety of cases, very involved & motivated PD, flexibility in curriculum, great cost of living
solid program
Happy residents. Nice place to live with a family. 4 year curriculum is very nice- personally I think more programs should go this route. Residents seemed to be respected throughout the hospital, more so than a lot of other programs.
All procedures and fellowships. Dedicated Chair and PD to education- can list all graduates and are in contact with many of them. Program offers different tracks after residency.
They have a four year integrated program allowing the residents to get anesthesia experience in the first year which I think has already allowed me to learn at a higher level. The residents really pitch in for the greater good. All the attendings I've w
High case volume, regional, interesting categorical track that is pretty innovative with regards to how traditional intern year rotations are spread throughout the 4 yrs of residency.
Great PD. Happy residents.
Very family friendly program, strong regional experience. Excellent truly integrated program (6 months of ANES in intern year). Everyone very nice. Would recommend this program

Program Disadvantages
Geographic location
residents seemed overworked
When asking one of the faculty what the weaknesses of the program are, he said that they work their residents too hard. Seems to have been a recent surge in volume without the personnel to handle it.
Hershey.
Hershey isn't a town for night life.
Critical care. No moonlighting. Rural location.
Amish country for all the eye can see. Hershey leaves alot to be desired.
Hershey is rather isolated, though easily can get to bigger surrounding cities
