Interview Experiences
Terrific! Super friendly faculty and residents.
Intro from PD Time with residents in between four interviews with faculty Tour of facilities
Slightly low on resident interaction, though we did meet quite a few during the day who were very enthusiastic about their program.
Day started at 7 am with thorough introduction by the program director. Then had 5 1-on-1 interviews with the Chair, PD, and 3 other faculty. Day finished around 3 pm after the tour.
~6 interviews, dinner night before
6 individual interviews which I found to be pretty blunt and interrogative compared to other residency programs. Residents appeared exhausted and worked to the edge.

Program Advantages
Awesome supervision and teaching faculty. Great research. HUGE clinical volume! Great match for fellowships. Resident run clinic. Patient diversity.
Great reputation Great chairman and faculty New facilities coming in '08/09 Residents place well in fellowships
residents chummy with faculty
Great place, this was my first choice, new Baylor eye clinic, awesome surgical experience, diverse pathology, fantastic fellowship match, everyone who trained at Baylor has loved it there
Great volume, great autonomy.
Great pathology with fantastic county and VA hospitals. Well-known faculty with strong subspecialties. They make finding research projects easy.
High surgical volume (250+ cataracts) with more than enough glaucoma surgeries, vitrectomies, lasers. Residents are happy. Very team-oriented atmosphere. Amazing fellowship match, lots of research opportunities. Huge wetlab and VA.
- beautiful VA - 'resident run'
Highly-autonomous program with very busy call. Great surgical training (230+ cataracts, glaucoma, plastics) with a world-renowned pediatrics department. Chair is very strong.

Program Disadvantages
none
overworked?
Busy busy calls and clinics may not be for everyone
Slightly below average facilities.
Work very hard, long days dont end till 7pm often.
Residents are very happy although they seem to work VERY hard. This is an amazing program.
- residents gave off 'overworked' vibe - busy call
Houston isn't a very pretty city. 85% go into fellowship. Personally, I just didnt get a very good feel from Baylor--residents didn't appear overly happy and I found the faculty (outside of the chair) to have big egos.
