Interview Experiences
pre-interview dinner, 3 interviews, tour, lunch
Reasonable if unmemorable day. One extremely nice faculty member.
Very nice dinner at one of the faculty's house the night before. Interview day was a large group intro in the morning and then broken into 4 sections with lunch in the middle: tour of city, tour of eye center, small group discussion with residents, and in
Average interview day (several 1:1 and 2:1 interviews) with a short tour of St. Louis via bus driven by one of the residents. Faculty and residents had us over to one of the faculty's homes the night prior, very nice and welcoming to all with appetizers a
Generous and beautiful pre interview dinner, family atmosphere 2nd to none, 3 interviews q 20-25 minutes, informative tour of building and stl city

Program Disadvantages
The program struggles for their cataract numbers. They send their residents to a VA in Southern Illinois, but they don't consistently devote time to going there.
location, have to travel to VA about 2 hrs away
Low on autonomy.
Secluded in the eye center, travel for cataracts (it may be done away with by now). You get the feeling everyone was telling you all day why they didn't feel like they were competing with WashU.
St. Louis, relatively low sugical case volume.
lower cataract # (~120 avg), older facility (though expansion, new eye clinic in the next year), low specialty lens experience due to lack of VA affiliation
