Maryland| Johns Hopkins U: |  | | - Applied
- Attended interview
- Interview Experience:
| 4 or 5 interviewers, average interview, ask residents if they ranked it #1 just for the name and how they felt about that decision in retrospect (was very helpful for me in making my match list!!) |
- Program Advantages:
| strong critical care, case mix, research opportunities, chair interested in business/education aspects of anesthesia |
- Program Disadvantages:
| larger program, residents working more hours than average, PD stepping down (may not be bad, just uncertainty) |
| | U Maryland: | | | - Applied
- Attended interview
- Interview Experience:
| standard day with 3 interviewers. relatively limited interaction with residents. |
- Program Advantages:
| new program chair comes with a lot of positive recommendations. recent addition of CRNAs to workforce has eased burden on residents. residents feel program is improving. |
- Program Disadvantages:
| board pass rates shaky, residents say things have gotten 'better' now that there are CRNAs but they have been worked hard. |

North Carolina| Duke U Hosp: | | | - Applied

| program size intentionally kept small and residents have their pick of cases. famous researchers. plenty of CT cases, claim to be exceptionally strong in regional. |
- Program Disadvantages:
| older hospitals, not much peds, one-dimensional residents. |
