Interview Experiences
 Breakfast/Intro

Multiple interviews (maybe 7?), some one-on-one, and always a one-on-one with the Chairman, Packo. Incredibly nice, relaxed, wonderful people

Relaxed
Numerous 1:1 and 2:1 interviews. Great group of people.

Program Advantages
Great location
Amazing facilities
Very happy residents
Good faculty
Early surgical experience
Great surgical volume, continuity clinic, well know faculty, great fellowship opportunities
Great numbers
Surgical volume and experience as a primary surgeon is incredible and rivaled by few programs. Close-knit groups of residents that help each other out and like to have fun. I would have loved to train here.
Lots of personalized attention; Great didactics; Great surgeons supervising every surgery you do. Awesome facilities. Leave ready to go out and practice general. Great rep in Chicago.
Faculty are volunteer and part-time so it seems like they want to teach
Faculty are passionate about teaching. Very strong in retina. Good surgical volume. Chicago is a fun city. Residents were really cool and laid back. Watched You-Tube videos while we awaited interviews.
good retina dept, affiliated with illinois eye, strong fellowship matches
Most faculty seemed nice

Program Disadvantages
2 resident program can be daunting
Surgery-heavy transitional year attached if you match here
Only 2 residents, transitional year at Rush, chicago is expensive
2 residents per class, have to do their surgical intern year
Small program can be intimidating from a call perspective, in that call is consistent across PGY2 and PGY3 (there's no lull or less intense call period), and PGY4 can be intense. On the flip side, competence is reached so quickly that seniors are rarely c
No VA. Less academic than UIC, but more clinical. Very few, I'd definitely recommend this program.
Required PGY-1 (but seems fairly easy now, much different than in the past). Some good research going on, but probably difficult to be involved as a resident
Not an academic program, mandatory intern year (which is much improved from previous years and seems like a semi-cush transitional year)
UIC, northwestern are nearby
