"Started at 8AM PST with introduction from the PD Dr Helen Bean. Then broke off into four 20-minutes interviews with 3 faculties and PD. the first faculty asked a lot of behavior questions, 2nd was more about hobbies and CV, 3rd was conversational and was probably 2-3 questions aout me, last was with PD, she asked about beahvoir questions and about myself (what makes you happy, whats makes u nervous). PD seemed rushed by the end.. but she was nice. Then we were grouped together and chat with the residents. Seems like a great program overall, well rounded. private hospital. Not good if want to go into academics. high acuity and gets referral from other states. residents are happy. they treat their residents really well. Good intern year and Ca-1 year. Intern year is 5 TY and 1 prelim (top gets TY). "

"The night before, the residents did a Q&A for the interview candidates. The morning of, the program coordinator shared a little bit about the program while waiting for the Program Director to give a powerpoint presentation about the program. We then moved into a waiting room with the other candidates and had the chance to chat with each other and occasionally with the program coordinator. We interviewed with the PD, faculty and the program coordinator. "
