pancreas

here are the answers to your questions.
i think its a good program. the training is good but not malignant and the surrounding is not crime infected. it will be a good place to become an excellent surgeon. mind you this is my opinion based on my interview for preliminary spot. so naturally i couldn't spend a great deal of time with the program but whatever i saw was likable.

i think the program is pretty much resident friendly. period.

no prematch. i dont think they offer prematches even to their janitors. so forget about it.

i can not tell you more than this that i was interviewed by one of their attendings.

i wasnt asked about anything medical/surgical but my applicant was. so its pretty much your luck.

i was asked usual interview questions. nothing out of the way and i was interviewed for a short time as i was a prelim candidate.

the best thing was that the pc gave us some cafeteria coupons. and the restrooms were neat. i dont think you would need to know anything more. take light bro. some humor even in such times isnt bad for health.
