Interview Experiences
Reception is art gallery night before, followed by an expensive dinner at a lounge with shots.
Not a ton of exposure to the residents
Mixer in eye building followed by the best dinner on the trail. Breakfast followed by sample morning rounds presentation. Interviews with groups or individual faculty including dedicated research interview.
Amazing program!
half day, 4 interviews, tour of campus

Program Disadvantages
Lost a resident last year
Residents unhappy about call coverage, wished for more procedures.
The people here seem to have an inflated opinion of themselves and of the program. They talk about being a top 10 department, but there is almost nothing that backs that up except for a nice new eye building. Otherwise the surgery is average, the clinic
nashville although cost of living is great
