- Attended interview
- Interview Experience:
| Super casual interview day. Had to wait a long time in between interviews. Seemed like many of the interviewers were busy with their clinical work. |
- Program Advantages:
| Nice subsidized housing. Located on the east side of NYC (if you prefer the west side this may be a disadvantage). Friendly residents. Strong Interventional radiology presence. |

| Great location. Happy faculty/residents. Very strong musculoskeletal and oncology exposure. |
- Program Disadvantages:
| The housing they offer is pretty expensive for a subsidized option. IR department not a strength. Seemed like the training intensity was a little too cushy/light - one of the senior residents casually told me NYU residents were better trained clinically. |
