Interview Experiences
Long and lots of sitting around between 7 interviews. Nice PD and eclectic group of faculty. Breakfast and Lunch served buffet style in lobby. Low key for sure.
Lots of interviews, some odd faculty but overall a good feel. Some of the residents seemed...slightly odd but nice enough.
Morning interviews, applicants in lobby with some residents, periodically called back for interviews, then a perfectly adequate lunch of sandwiches, followed by a tour of (I'm totally serious here) all the physicians lounges on campus. They didn't show u
Chair was nice to me, but spotted past at Emory and WashU. Other retina faculty member was rude (his way of finding out if you want to be there). Others pleasant. ~6 (1 on 1's)
Usual 1:1 interviews with 6-7 faculty members, including the chair Dr. Kaplan, who seems like a great guy.

Program Advantages
Good Pathology. Busy but not too busy. Good academics. Great Plastics guy and Peds. Match good fellowships. Residents seem very happy.
Louisville is a nice city. the program is reasonably well funded
Seems to be a solid program, perhaps even on the rise. There were a number of interviewers who seemed great, very nice, very approachable, very interested in me and my application. Residents seemed nice
If you're a DO/FMG, they have a track record of taking 1 or 2 applicants/year.
Very strong in retina, with excellent fellowship matches at prestigious institutions for retina. The program is also unique in that it is very internationally focused, lots of opportunities for international ophthalmology

Program Disadvantages
Louisville? Poor neuro. Cover a ton of ER's.
Nothing truly outstanding about this program to remember.
Nothing really stands out as bad, but nothing blew me away as great either. Not all of the residents were available on the interview day, which may mean nothing and could be a scheduling thing, but it always makes you wonder. I got the impression that m
Wasn't a good fit for me and most of the PGY2/3's didn't seem happy. I left the interview pretty disappointed.
Very loyal to their own students at U Louisville. Last year they matched all 4 spots to their own students. Consider this when you choosing between interviews.
