Illinois Indiana Kentucky U Kentucky COM: | | | - Rotated at this institution - Applied - Attended interview - Matched here (Ranked # 1) - Interview Experience:
| They give you a ton of information about the program in the beginning of the day. PD is really cool, residents are laid back. | - Program Advantages:
| Split clinical base over two years so 6 months of anesthesia during intern year. Busy OB. PD is amazing and would cut his arm off if it would improve your training. Didactics are second-to-none. | - Program Disadvantages:
| Critical care is fairly weak. |
| U Louisville: | | | - Applied - Attended interview - Interview Experience:
| There were over 20 applicants on my day, so it sort of felt like a cattle call. Some of the people who interviewed me had strange affects. | - Program Advantages:
| Ummm....I guess critical care is pretty good. | - Program Disadvantages:
| Hardly any didactics, residents seemed to just be trying to have as little work as possible. |

Michigan Missouri | | Missouri WUStL/B-JH/SLCH Cnsrt: | | | - Applied - Attended interview - Interview Experience:
| Mostly me trying to figure out why I was there. Felt like every interviewer except one was waiting for me to prove that I was good enough to go there. | - Program Advantages:
| Big name, lots of research, very strong critical care. | - Program Disadvantages:
| Lots of research, intern year and beyond are very demanding (perhaps overly so), seemed like everyone was in competition with each other. |

| Lots of options for intern year at UTKMC, friendly people. | - Program Disadvantages:
| Not really any experience in transplant. Knoxville is not my most favorite city. |
