- Attended interview
- Interview Experience:

North Carolina
Pennsylvania| Albert Einsteincare Network: | | | - Applied
- Attended interview
- Interview Experience:
| Nothing the night before. PD is extremely dedicated to teaching and the well-being of the residents, but is also socially awkward, which I've heard sucks when you read out with him. |
- Program Advantages:
| No fellows, lots of hands on experience, very well trained - residents perform very highly on board exams. very accomadating to personal life. residents get great fellowships. most of them live in downtown philly. |
- Program Disadvantages:
| I didn't like the one big reading room. Call is brutal. Also, you have to leave for fellowship. Seemed like most residents were married with kids. Also, I know a resident who left the program very recently. |
