Dinner on Miami beach night of interview Tour, 7 or 8 interviews. 1 on 1 with faculty including chair. Very hot even in middle of december. Raining. Few very tough interviews where they grilled me on the details of my application. very friendly,
LONG,
9 individual interviews Bascom Palmer starts the interview day with a lecture by the program director on the program's features. Then the interviewees are divided into 2 groups: an interviewing group and a touring group. There are 11 individual interviews, 20 minutes each, with 9 or 10 interviews, all one-on-one except the chief resident interviews. Extremely nice, not intimidating. Lots of interviews (9?), nice faculty Short presentation followed by hanging out in a conference room and sneaking out whenever you had an interview. 1 on 1 interviews, all very laid back Multiple 1:1 with great faculty 7 interviews with faculty 1 on 1 and one interview with both chief residents. Relaxing atmosphere. One of the best resident dinners on the trail at a rooftop in beautiful downtown area. 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17
Program Advantages They may offer the best and varied surgical volume of any program. High volume, depth (residents do even retina surgeries!). Probably the top training program out there in terms of surgical experience. Volume so large, fellows don't compete for numbers Best and most diverse surgical volume out there. Faculty nice. Residents nice and work well together. 24-hr Eye ER. Good continuity of care (you get your own patients to follow for 3 years) REPUTATION
Great diversity in procedures and great surgical numbers
Strong faculty and residents
Great facilities
A lot of really nice, really smart people
Can get any fellowship you want
Possibly considered #1 training program in the country. 24/7 Eye ED staffed by residents. World renowned faculty. Great fellows, great research. Lots of $$$ name,
innovation,
clinical research,
very high surgical and clinical volume This program has some of the top clinicians, surgeons, and researchers in the field, many of whom are eager to provide their knowledge and experience to residents and students. There are faculty and fellows in every ophthalmologic subspecialty, always ava Amazing surgical experience, the ER at BPEI is unlike any other place in eye care, you will see everything you ever need to see in that place. Family atmosphere, not malignant, residents seem extremely happy and are humble. Amazing training in all ways. Any fellowship you want fantastic reputation with strong subspecialties. Opportunities to particpate in community service clinics. Eye ER leads to continuity clinic patients. Very strong all-around good surgical numbers, excellent fellowship match, big name Awesome program.
Down to earth people 'Exceptional surgical breadth (200+ cataracts, good retina and plastics) and clinical training with humble people at the top of the field. Didactics 4 days/week with one day a week devoted to ''imaging conference.'' Eye ER brings in incredible pathology. 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17
Program Disadvantages Not a lot of mentoring first year. sultry summers? Program not in the nicest part of town
Miami is expensive
Majority of your patients are Spanish speaking. Many of the faculty I talked to seemed to think they are the best and I felt they did not appreciate any criticism about the program. 'this program is perfect' Miami is very humid and expensive This program is front-loaded in that 1st year residents take first call all year. Residents sleep in the hospital and are almost always busy on call nights. Absolutely nothing. Patients all speak Spanish Intense atmosphere. Very busy especially first year. Lots of Spanish speaking. Miami's culture may not be for everyone. Depends on personal preference overrated, good surgical numbers but less autonomy at times
residents seemed burned out miami is a random city
some faculty can be malignant High expectations? Miami is a different city. Over half population Spanish-speaking only. 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17 17
