Interview Experiences
 Three panel interviews with faculty. I appreciated that many of the faculty came in on a snowy day in Denver to make quick presentations to us and introduce themselves.
Intro from full faculty and then interaction with residents
Tour of facilities
Lunch
Three panel interviews with faculty.
Interviews split into AM/PM. Lunch, followed by presentation by PD and chair, followed by 3 panel-style interviews.
Amazing institution. On a weekend morning virtually ALL the faculty were there because they cared enough about the applicants to show up. Panel interviews of 5 on 1 but they didn't feel intimidating.
3 panels - very friendly and conversational. PD is a great guy.
Several panel-style interviews. Tour of the facilities with the residents.
Presentation from PD. 3 3or4 on 1 interviews, very laid-back. short tour.
Three 4-1 panel interviews, relatively tough interviews, one person seemed very uninterested in being there
4 group interviews which are very laid back. PD and chair appeared to be two of the most approachable leaders on the interview trail. Insignificant, but curious that the Beer mecca was the only place on the interview trail where applicants were asked to b

Program Advantages
Nice faculty. New building. Denver is a great city.
Beautiful new facilities and upgrades to hospital and clinic space rolling out in the near future. The new locations will also reduce some on-call driving.
Great facilities
Great City
Strong surgically/clinically, pretty solid across all subspecialties, good fellowship match, Denver is a cool/young city
Location in denver, great facilities, up and coming faculty
Young, approachable faculty, new facilities, Denver
University, county, VA, and Children's all part of the package. Good surgical numbers.
Denver. Great surgical volume, self-directed learning.
Beautiful eye center, mid-expansion and will be completed 2014? Will see huge volume here, good balance of autonomy and supervision (4 hospitals - VA, county, Univ, Childrens). Solid subspecialties and surg #s. DENVER.
Denver, seems to have a good reputation, great fellowship match
Well represented in all fellowship and comprehensive. Split time at VA (in the midst of relocating), county, children's and Rocky Mountain Lions eye Institute. Surgical experience has been a point of emphasis over past few years (180-190 cataracts) with e

Program Disadvantages
Cover too many hospitals that are20-30 minutes away from each other.
Two years of primary call.
Surgical volume below average
Lots of driving to cover all hospitals
Not really impressed with presentation of program by faculty or residents.
Not much research, not really that impressed with residents' attitude about having matched there (seemed like it wasn't their top choice)
slightly less well known than many equivalent programs
2 years of primary call
Lots of call
Some of the faculty just want work to be done and to leave by 5pm, (per people that rotated there) hence the self-directed learning vibe of the program
Growing reputation, but not quite there yet. Very busy call - primary x2 years. County hospital is a little bit of a drive from the others. Very little ancillary staff at VA.
Seems malignant, very difficult call
Denver is an incredible city, but cost of living is going through the roof. Two years of primary call & very busy. Apparently the VA has been talking about moving locations for the past 5 years, yet there seems to be uncertainty on when this actually happ
