Interview Experiences
Pre-interview dinner night before. Grand rounds in the morning followed by time with residents including presentation and lunch. Five interviews in afternoon with faculty
Dinner at a resident's house the night before, great breakfast in physician's lounge, lunch at a local bbq place. The PD met applicants in the parking lot when they arrived and held the door for us. He was super approachable and friendly. Sample grand
6 1-on-1 interviews; nice lunch; pretty long day ending around 5 PM
Five 1-1 interviews
Class size increased to 5 beginning 2018, however they seem confident it will not alter surgical numbers.

Excellent surgical numbers (eg cataract >250)

Great reputation, ranked top 10 by ophtho times recently; strong surgical training with close to 250 cataracts, but may be a little lower with the 4th resident; famous faculty
Great numbers, great faculty, emphasis on education, overall a tremendous place
Dean Mcgee is a great institution, strong surgical numbers
One of the highest surgical volumes in the country (260 cataracts, 220 oculoplastics). Residents are prepared to go comprehensive immediately with no problem, also good fellowship match. Chair and PD are two of most accomplished leaders in ophtho (previou

Program Disadvantages
Oklahoma City may not be for you
Chairman just left (maybe not a problem at all). Some people just won't mesh well with the city. Maybe not a ton of hospitals thus limiting diversity of exposure? Otherwise I had a hard time finding problems and ranked them very highly (I kind of wish I
oklahoma city; grand rounds may be a bit malignant but overall everyone is nice; some difficulty interview questions
None
oklahoma
Grand rounds are NOT malignant, however more than any other place I visited faculty would frequently question residents--will not be for everyone. OKC is an upcoming city, but optimal for families.
