Program Name: Children's hospital michigan, Wayne State University,detroit
Date of Interview: november
Where did u stay, nearest hotel, travel etc: arranged for by the program...took a cab from the airport--$40 (Detroit being the heart of automotive industry, dont expect mass transit!)
Level of "stress" (0-10): 3
How many interviewers: 3
How many applicants: 5 peds 2 med peds
Tour included visits to: picu, nicu, floors, ER (one of the largest peds ER in US, I was told) cafeteria
Questions asked: what u expect from the program; why u applied here; are u planning for fellowship; are u interested in research
Happy residents: yes / no / ? : very happy
Atmosphere: friendly, people seemed to be working hard but enjoying it
City, how is living there?: cheap, some areas are rough but most resident live in the suburbs which is very lovely i believe...there is an International house walking distance from the hospital where many new residents stay for initial mnths b4 they decide where they want to shift into....seemed like there was fun stuff to do
Research oriented: yes / no / ? research is mandatory and they really push to get stuff published...they finance u to AAp conference if u present original research
Prematch offers?: they do offer but didnt offer me (i was consoled by someone telling me that it was offered in Jan after they had interviewed most of their candidates)
Visa sponsored?: H1B and J1
What I liked the most?: awesome faculty...the new editor in the latest nelson edition is the chairman there! 27 intern program...max continuos duty 24 hrs (not the usual 30 because if ur on call u need to come at 11 am)...no dirth of pathology....solid fellowship programs...genuine research available, in terms of mentors, facilities, grants and atmosphere, very diverse patient and resident population
What should be improved?: firstly the website, has very scanty information! detroit might not be the coolest place to live in....no mass transit (i dont drive !)...but then the later 2 isnt really the programs responsibility
Rate experience (0-10): 9
Any other relevant info: they offer a choice of the subspeciality faculty u want to interview with....any gaps in resume are asked to be explained....there was some talk about fights between the wayne state univ and DMC....but we were assured that firstly its resolved and secondly DMC is one of the oldest, largest and busiest prog in US so will never close down....no board fails were reported...no resident was kicked out, those that dropped out did so because of personal reasons like family...they have this really cool international elective where u are sponsered to go to few choice countries and spend a mnth there...i thought it sounded really global and cool!
Conclusion: it should be obvious by now...loved it!!
