Interview Experiences
Probably my toughest interview day, long, with 4 panel interviews with 3-5 per panel.
Fair; potentially a lot of waiting
6 or so interviews with panel of 2-3 people. Small tour of hospital.
Lunch with residents, 4 interviews with 2-3 faculty + residents
5 or 6 (3 on 1) interviews with faculty/chief residents. Great program overview.
A few panel interviews, got a weird vibe from most of my interviewers as well as the residents

Program Advantages
Great clinical experience, busy clinics.
DC location, wide variety of cases, lower call load b/c 5 residents
Great location, large program. 6 residents I think. Faculty seemed nice.
-Washington DC, Diverse pathology, lots of variety with rotation sites
DC. Trauma. Busy clinics w/ diverse pathology at WHC. Cover a lot of sites. In general, very good fellowship matching. Resident run clinics/lots of autonomy. Clinically, well-trained.
Trauma? They seem to have pretty brutal call, but still low surgical numbers for some reason

Program Disadvantages
Rotations spread out over D.C, Maryland, Virginia
not top tier
Not much research opportunity. Poor surgical volume 80-110 cataracts.
-Average surgical numbers
Poor surgical volume. Poor fellowship match this year (3 of 4 didn't match in cornea). Residents nice, but seem stressed.
Residents most spent their time bashing the other DC programs, which was annoying. WHC is far from everything and pretty run down. Financial problems mentioned?
