"Tuesday: 10-minute meetings with the Program Director (more interview-like + asked me to suture and knot) and Chairman of Surgery (conversational; answered more questions than he asked) followed by light dinner in the evening with residents at Fat Heads Brewery. Wednesday: Begins with Grand Rounds at 7:30am, followed by breakfast, three back-to-back 15-minute interviews (two faculty and one fourth-year resident), a tour of the hospital, and lunch. They take four categorical residents and four preliminary residents every year. All faculty seemed unfazed by a visa need. All the residents and faculty were friendly and easy to talk to. Pittsburgh is a nice mid-sized city to live in. "

"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. "

"Virtual interview, the PD and faculty are lovely people. Interview was very conversational and chill."

"Very kind interviewers. No medical questions. Long day though! But good. "

"it was a virtual interview! the first one was with APD which went really well, we connected very quickly and talked about many things i think she was impressed by me another one was with PD which also went well. he seems really nice and genuine doctor"

"It was a decent interview. It was virtual due to the times of COVID and all. Had a good time with every one."
