Interview Experiences
 Dr. Blomquist is a great salesman of an excellent program.
Tasty dinner at hotel night before, great pep talk from PD, Dr. Blomquist.
Well organized interview day
Breakfast followed by five interviews with faculty and fellow
Lunch
Tour of facilities
6 one on one interview including chair and program director, as well as a fellow who was a recent grad. 1 hour presentation on Dallas and program by PD. Excellent dinner on night prior with many residents, and great lunch again with many residents.
Well organized, great pitch, good interviews, enthused residents. PD was obviously very familiar with our applications.
Dinner/mixer the night before at hotel. Day starts with breakfast and intro from PD then broken into 2 groups: tour of campuses or 5-6 interviews, 15 minutes each with faculty and chairman
5 1-on-1 interviews, PD overview of program, tour of facilities, dinner with residents night before.
Introduction/motivational talk by PD, then 5 one-on-one interviews; nice social event the night before; tours after/before interviews; day ends at around 4-5 or earlier if you interview in the morning
Very impressive PD. Great program overview. Faculty very nice and interested in getting to know me. Really sold the program.
6 individual interviews with faculty. I was blown away from the PD (Dr. Blomquist)--he's an unbelievable recruiter and face to the residency program.

Program Advantages
Great clinical and surgical training with top notch facilities and an excellent VA and county hospital experience. The only academic eye center in the city. Great wet lab. One of my favorite programs.
Parkland is the nicest county hospital I've seen. Alcon is in town. Busy program, great experience.
Dallas is a great city
Good surgical numbers
Great program director
Outstanding clinical and surgical experience
Best community hospital around (Parkland), great VA, and additional outside hospital (JPS). Great faculty, large resident class, all around outstanding program that I am thrilled to have matched.
large
Great volume, great autonomy, large program with many locations and a lot of pathology.
Amazing campus, largest program in the country, TONS of money, all the cutting edge equipment you could ask for, program director seems to be a huge advocate for residents, chairman is very well networked at the hospital,
Very very strong clinical training, solid surgical numbers, lots of autonomy.
everything one looks for in a residency program: great clinical and surgical training with a huge county hospital and a top 5 VA with surgical numbers of >200 cataracts; large academic department with a great PD; happy and nice residents; Q12 calls
Great facilities/equipment. Good research. Great fellowships. Great clinical/surgical exposure. Dallas.
Very cool place. PD is a major selling point. Dallas seems like an alright city. Large class (9).
big program but surgical numbers not compromised because everything is bigger in texas
- great surgical numbers
- 2 county hospitals and a VA
50/50 split with fellowship vs. comprehensive. Outrageous surgical experience (~280 cataracts). Emphasis on preparing you for practice (ie. billing and socioeconomic). Parkland Memorial is the nicest county hospital in the country with top-end ophtho equi

Program Disadvantages
Not very many. Residents hit the ground running without much prep (also a strength).
Cover lots of hospitals far from each other
Concern with esprit de corp
overworked
Chairman can be somewhat intimidating, but he gets the job done and is a huge asset to the program.
Autonomy might not be for everyone, they are very sink or swim here which they say makes the residents exceedingly useful within a few months. I have heard (but obviously nothing official) that they are very fellow-centric here. During my interview we w
It seemed very sink or swim. Rumors of malignancy
Very few, great balance between strong training and not over-working; should probably have ranked it #1
Busy clinics--sink or swim. Rumors of malignancy did scare me a little, but I left thinking very highly of the program.
Heavy, heavy autonomy with a high degree of intensity and large spanish-speaking population.
Careful with believing what you are told at interviews about how much they like you. PDs have a right to change their minds and they do. I've seen it more than once.
- rough call first year
- busy
- 'sink or swim'
Very autonomous program which might not be for everyone. Driving to county hospital 40 minutes a day; residents carpool to the location and are compensated for the miles driven
