Maryland| Johns Hopkins U: |  | | - Applied
- Attended interview
- Interview Experience:
| While fairly relaxed, the interview day experience was somewhat marred by applicants being confined to rather cramped/unappealing quarters while not interviewing (you'll see what I mean; really not that big a deal, but a bit odd considering that many othe |
- Program Advantages:
| In addition to reputation, Hopkins provides generally quite strong anesthesia training (CT, pain, critical care, research, regional w/rotation at HSS in NYC). |
- Program Disadvantages:
| Perhaps peds? No moonlighting. Location. Also, Hopkins definitely seems to emphasize service over formal didactics (as emphasized by on call and post-call didactics, which they try to advertise as a strength). |

| | Mass Gen Hosp: | | | - Applied
- Attended interview
- Interview Experience:
| Information session, 3 interviews (2 faculty members, chair), lunch, tour (Ether Dome and all). Generally quite relaxed, except for the interview w/Dr. Zapol (then chair). |
- Program Advantages:
| While I think that MGH provides great training (particularly in CT, critical care, peds, pain, and research), I think that its greatest strengths are reputation and location. |
- Program Disadvantages:
| Seemed to be weak in regional anesthesia. No moonlighting. Its a program that, IMO, falls on the wrong side of the service/education balance. |

Missouri| WUStL/B-JH/SLCH Cnsrt: | | | - Applied
- Attended interview
- Interview Experience:
| Tour, information session, 3-4 interviews. Very nice people, had a great experience speaking w/Dr. Evers (chair). |
- Program Advantages:
| Generally a strong program all around. Very academically oriented. These folks certainly work hard, but they seem quite well trained. |
- Program Disadvantages:
| Perhaps regional? Location (reasonable COL, but definitely not for everyone)? |

- Attended interview
- Interview Experience:
| Information session, two faculty interviews, tour, lunch. Low key. |
- Program Advantages:
| Generally quite strong overall. CT, transplant, critical care. As with WUSTL, these folks work hard but come out solid. |
- Program Disadvantages:
| | New York Presb Hosp (Cornell): | | | - Applied
- Attended interview
- Interview Experience:
| Information session, 3 interviews (PD, associate PD, another faculty members), lunch w/residents, tour. Low key affair. |
- Program Advantages:
| Regional and pain. They have a great regional experience given their affiliation with the Hospital for Special Surgery and they have a large pain fellowship program, 8 fellows/yr and they seem to like to take their own. |
- Program Disadvantages:
| Trauma, critical care, no transplant. I don't recall if they allow moonlighting or not (I think that they do). At the interview, there was some resident grumbling re long hours, etc... |

- Program Advantages:
| Pain, peds, critical care, CT, transplant, research/academics. They do allow moonlighting and, in fact, have a structured overtime system in place (w/very generous compensation). |

- Program Advantages:
| Just about everything (seriously). Pain, regional, CT, peds, OB, research/academics. UPMC has a huge critical care presence, although not much anesthesiology-CC presence. UPMC is clearly dedicated to resident training/education and not so interested in u |
