How many interviewers: 3 1-chief resident 1-PD 1-staff(grade it the best interaction experience there)

Atmosphere: very friendly,they made sure someone from the staff was always available to talk and entertain

What I liked the most?: i was hearing ppl saying residents were not available to talk,but man,we were provided with more than ample time!
