Interview Experiences
 be prepared for an extremely long interview day!
Lots of interviewees. Interviews with 3 of the 6 on the selection committee.
Felt like applicants were pre-ranked?
Started the day at 10 am, with interviews ending around 4-5 p.m. Grand rounds occurred afterwards, followed by the resident dinner. Interview with 3/6 people on the ADCOM.
Three 1-on-1 interviews. LOTS of downtime. Come prepared to entertain yourself.
3 1-on-1 interviews, grand rounds, dinner

Program Disadvantages
Very few that I could see. I really liked this program.
-all residents are married (many with kids), Durham is kind of a bland town, everyone is from NC, PD is very very research oriented (lots and lots of requirements)
Name not quite like Bascom or Wilmer
Weak on trauma surgeries (due to location). Small wetlab. Felt some faculty were very serious/intense compared to other programs. Durham is a decent enough city.
-Durham is OK
-Some quirky faculty
-Maybe more fellow focused
durham is a dull city
rotating at two VAs
