Interview Experiences
3 interviews - one with Dr. Fischer and Dr. Friedman, one with Dr. Gagliuso, one with 2 current 1st year residents
One-on-one interviews with faculty, and one 2-on-1 interview with residents. My favorite interview of the trail. PD is amazing.
Began at 830 and finished at 6, with a reception until 7. Laid back interviews with 4 faculty (including PD and one of interviews being 2v1). Two more 2v1 interviews with PGY-2s.

Program Advantages
great exposure to an amazing amount of pathology (especially at Elmhurst hospital), great faculty who are invested in teaching (and also very nice), strong research which will likely get even stronger with the new chairman Dr. Jabbs. Good surgical numbers
Location
Incredible faculty, amazing surgical numbers for NYC, and diverse surgical training (you'll get vitrectomies, corneal surgeries, etc). This place took me by total surprise. Best kept secret in NYC. County + VA + high surg numbers + NYC = ultimate program.
NY, decent numbers for NY
Good surgical volume (150-200) for NY. Faculty are friendly, resident-focused. Residents were happy. Lots of research opportunities (clinical > bench). Surgery experience during first year. Lots of investment into ophtho from Mt Sinai currently.

Program Disadvantages
none
Hospitals are spread out, requires a care in NYC to take call.
For some reason, its amazingness is overshadowed by other NY programs (I have no clue why).
LOTS of commuting out to Elmhurst and the VA while on call in the middle of the night. One resident mentioned feeling 'stranded' at Elmhurst while on call on multiple occasions
Subsidized housing is still rather expensive. Have to commute between to VA and to Elmhurst (but shuttle transport provided).
