Interview Experiences
Intro 1 panel interview with 5-6 faculty members Lunch Tour
Short half-day interview consisting of panel interview and tour with one of the residents.
1 panel interview, tour, lunch
No dinner/event outside of interview day. 1 panel interview with ~5 faculty. Impressive.
Interview started with lunch, then broke into 2 sections: campus tour (about 30 min too long), then interviews including panel interview with ~10-12 faculty members, panel interview with 3 residents, and solo interview with chairman. Followed by dinner a
Panel interviews with 6-7 faculty that lasts 10-15 min, and a resident interview
1 panel interview ~15 minutes. Not that nice to me during my interview, but outside that faculty were friendly and residents were happy.

Program Advantages
Nice facilities Close-knit group of people
Very strong for a smaller program. I have only heard fantastic things about this program.
good surgical number, hands on training, efficient (by the time you are a 3rd yr you are able to see 40 patients a day)
Satisfied residents, nice faculty, impressive phaco instruction.
Great clinical setup where you have a continuity clinic EVERY AFTERNOON. You work up to a full patient load by the end of your training and you get to work with top notch support staff and even get a secretary. They basically train to be a private doc r
Resident clinic, good numbers, nice residents.
Strong clinical and surgical training. Good #'s. Good fellowship matching. Great opportunities whether you pursue general or a fellowship.
Nice people, strong clinical training.

Program Disadvantages
? Resident happiness - Winston-Salem is a very small town in Tobacco country. More amenable to those who are ready to or are already settled down.
Winston-Salem may be a somewhat harder place for a spouse to find a job.
location and have to travel to VA about 45 mins away, no county hospital
Small class of 3 to split call with, and drive to another city (~45 min) for VA.
Kinda small (3), you have to travel about 45 daily for about 1/5 of each year. Some people won't like the city (I love it).
Interview with faculty is over very quickly, hard to make an impression. They interview a lot of people for very few spots.
Winston Salem. They interviewed 75 ppl for 3 spots, which I think is unfair to applicants.
Three residents seem to be stretched pretty thin. Winston-Salem.
