Program Name: Caritas Carney Hospital
Date of Interview: Dec
Where did u stay, nearest hotel, travel etc: I drove to Boston, and stayed at Comfort Inn... I shared with the forum hero, who kindly made the reservation, and we finally saved about 60 box.
Level of "stress" (0-10): 2
How many interviewers: 2
How many applicants: 10
Tour included visits to: ICU, wards, cafeteria, library, lounge, auditorium
Questions asked: Where do you see yourself in 10 years, why this program, what can you bring to this program, do you have any questions?.
Happy residents: yes / no / ? : Yes
Atmosphere: The PD is very nice, he is also the chief of Medicine. Most of categoricals are IMGs.
City, how is living there?: Same as previous post by countdown
Research oriented: yes / no / ? No, but good opportunities to do electives at other hospitals in Boston.
Prematch offers?:
Visa sponsored?: J1/H1
What I liked the most?: The Program Director, 3 electives during internship, with possibilities to do away electives.
What should be improved?: financial stability, they say it's been around for 50 years, since it is a hospital that serves mostly uninsured patients. The PD says the panorama looks good though. It has been ranked among 1% for quality of care, efficiency.
Rate experience (0-10): 7
Conclusion: It's an OK program, Residents are friendly. The hospital is small, around 180 beds, so no in-house fellowships. Fellowship placement is around 50% off those who apply. Mostly geriatric patients.
