I had an interview there, they told me it not affliated but an integral part of University of Pittsburgh medical center. If you click on UPMC on Freida, it has link for presbytarian/shadyside residency plus if you go to main website of UPMC, there is a link for shadyside residency.
The hospital is good, residents very nice. Interview was laid back 10 min each with 2 people.
Fellowship opportunities are decent. You can do a research at the main Univ of pittsburgh. They have enough electives + 40% rotations to do at Univ of pittsburgh main pogram hospital.

hi paruli,thanks for ur reply.
Do they ask any medical questions?i have interview on jan25.
do they offer prematches?what %are fmgs and where r they from?
thanks

[ArchivalUser]

no medical questions, i would say >90% of the categorical medicine residents were FMGs from all over the world, all transitional year ones are AMGs.
Good luck with ur interview.
