Interview Experiences
 Very friendly. Ranked them in top 3.
mostly pleasant
AM and PM sessions.
Really great. Amazing pre-interview social event, with drinks first (really helped everyone including me relax, hehe) and then dinner, both at these amazing places in the Liberty Hotel. Interview day was run really well, with 4 interviews. Everyone int
The interviewers here are perhaps slightly less personable than other places I visited. It was a little less touchy/feely but certainly not stressful. Most of the residents were friendly. I had the feeling I could be very happy here.
Great interviews. Residents were really cool and laid back, really enjoyed talking to them. Surprisingly laid-back atmosphere. Technology they have come up with for dealing with everyday hassles was amazing. Great pre-interview dinner! Would have been #2
Pretty good. Some of the residents had strong personalities, somewhat to my disliking, but some were great. Faculty interviews went fine.
Program Advantages
Unparalleled academic and research opportunities.
Theresa McCloud
Finish with a fellowship in 4 years! Good moonlighting, seemed to have a laid back, friendly reputation. Cool city
Probably the happiest residents I have met. Less busy than other big-time academic places. Very flexible program.
everything! But of note, for such a world-renowned place, everyone I spoke to was so down-to-earth and fun... really pleasant surprise!
MGH is the real deal. Their research is one of their greatest strengths. Molecular imaging here is really strong. I like the structure of their program with a mini-fellowship. Call here seemed to be totally reasonable.
Amt of call is not grueling at all--4-5 wks of NF! Residents are given a laptop and a welcome gift when they start (this year they got jackets). Got the impression that staff cared a lot about the residents.
MGH name. Decent moonlighting. Awesome city. They give you a laptop and $700/yr education fund. Not too overworked for a premier program. 80% go into private practice. Super easy to do research. 4-5 weeks of vacation per year.
Program Disadvantages
Boston has a relatively high cost of living (although much better than the West Coast). Cold. No dedicated IR service.
Expensive! However decent pay/benefits/moonlighing somewhat offset this. The one year advantage of finishing with a fellowship in 4 years definitely offsets this.
Although a great city, Boston winters are harsh. Probably won't be as well trained as compared to places that work you hard (i.e. MIR).
expensive part of boston
Boston is really expensive. I'm not sure how well I could get used to the daily grind of the long commute I'd need in order to find somewhat affordable housing. If you're single and don't mind high rent this would be a great place to train.
Perhaps less quality experience first year. Expensive city. Not an excellent place if you want to get good IR training during residency.
