- Interview Experience:
| Had 1 extremely awkward interview which totally turned me off to the program. A pity considering I would have enjoyed Los Angeles. |
- Program Advantages:
| IR is huge here. Looks like Dr.V will keep you up with clinical knowledge - something I feel is lacking. |

- Interview Experience:
| Awesome. I did an away rotation here so I already knew I would like it. Everyone was so nice, interview day was organized, and noon conference was excellent. |

- Program Disadvantages:

Georgia| Emory U: | | | - Applied
- Attended interview
- Interview Experience:
- Program Advantages:
| Probably the best group of residents in terms of personality I have met on the trail. I would have loved to be co-residents. They seem to love what they do. |

| | Illinois
Maryland| Johns Hopkins U: | | | - Applied
- Attended interview
- Interview Experience:
| I was really impressed by the interview day. The only odd thing was their interview format. I think it was 7 interviewers for 10 minutes. I was extremely nervous. PD is awesome, but she comes off as distant in the interview. |
- Program Advantages:
| It's Hopkins. You had the huge, older names in radiology. Hugely impressive noon conference. Residents were some of the best, clinically, I've seen on the interview trail. Obviously great training going on here. |
- Program Disadvantages:
| Residents were smart, but a bit weird. |

Massachusetts
Missouri| St Louis U SOM: | | | - Applied
- Attended interview
- Interview Experience:
| I was put off by the PC's disorganization. We got 1 sheet of paper as our itinerary with no handouts or folders. It was just very sloppy. |
- Program Advantages:
| It seems like a real up and coming program. Dr. Brown, the Chair, has a lot of great ideas - like holding didactics with MIR. |
- Program Disadvantages:
| In SLU and still needs a couple years to get to great training. Residents didn't seem to enthused to be there. |
| | U Missouri at Kansas City: | | | - Applied
- Attended interview
- Interview Experience:
| My first interview. I didn't know what to expect. It was okay. |
- Program Advantages:
| You get great clinical training here to read high volumes. |
- Program Disadvantages:
| Put off by one of my interviewers saying that I didn't REALLY want to do academics. Another interviewer told me that residents shouldn't be involved in research. Direct conflict with my goals. |

- Matched here (Ranked # 1)
- Interview Experience:
| Great! Preinterview dinner was one of the best. Residents were nice, normal, and funny. |
- Program Advantages:
| It's Mallinckrodt - they are hemorrhaging money for radiology research and opportunities. Noon lecture was outstanding. Residents were extremely happy with training (said it was hard), unparalleled education, huge book fund (1000/year), lead, big facult |

- Interview Experience:
| Impressive facilities. Awkward interview with Dr. Oldham. |
- Program Advantages:
| You get to do IR and rotations at MD Anderson. Awesome experience - althought I'm not sure what the PP exp would be like coming out of MD anderson. |
- Program Disadvantages:
| Dr. Oldham's interview was a little distant, but she told us that was her method. Finding Waldo was a bit of a boiler room technique. |
