Interview Experiences
Low key tour with residents and interviews with faculty. Everyone was great and the dinner before was a lot of fun.
Great, had espresso and soup
Large number of interviews 1 on 1. Mingling session in the afternoon.
Great interview day. PD puts on a great lecture. Interviews were pretty chilled out. Asked a few random questions and did ask about other interviews.
Friendly and funny PD. Interviews seemed a little strained with one or two attendings like they weren't sure how to direct an interview.
Multiple 2-on-1 or 1-on-1 interviews. Extremely nice faculty. Great day, fun tour.
Awesome!! well organized

Program Disadvantages
Crazy busy! Detroit
Detroit
A great program. Most people live in the suburbs instead of downtown Detroit.
detroit
Poor surgical volume 80-90 cataracts. Detroit isn't a great place to live. I did not feel safe around the hospital area.
Overworked. Super high daily patient load. Very tough call covering 4 major ER's, one of which is 20 min drive (and you have to drive there on call). Not attached directly to medical center. Issues with medical center and medical school, unknown future.
Really freaking cold in detroit, in house call(both of which were dealbreakers for me)
They say they're weak in cornea bc they lost a faculty member, and they're working to correct that (shouldn't be an issue for next year).
Blah facilities, Too busy?
Many nonstarters ie: -residents do not get into top programs even when the former chairman (renowned guy) was still chair -PD, who is now also the chairman, is SERIOUSLY BAD NEWS. He is widely disliked, even by trainees and program alumni, for very goo
