Already interviewed at Ford. I was actually pleasantly surprised. The main hospital is pretty nice, and the residents I met were all cool. If you get the morning interview session you're in luck, otherwise there is a lot of sitting around I heard. Interviews were very laid back, some slightly more rigid than others in terms of questions asked. More I think an element of the interviewer's personality. You have four faculty interviews 1:1. Then one with two chiefs.
As far as living in Detroit, it's a tough call. I think all of the residents (and chairman for that matter) told me it's not that bad at all. Yet, I think every single resident in the program lives in the suburbs. Overall, it was a pleasant interview experience. :smokin:

i am definetely the vocal minority, but i love living in detroit. there are so many chillin things to do here, you just gotta dig around to find them. more than a few real safe, upper-middle class apartments to live in downtown also.

interview was worth goin to. didn't get the same vibe about the residents, but definitely loved the program director- he is a real stand up guy.

good balance of downtown trauma stuff, and then farmed out to do more regular joe community ortho.

thanks for the info guys...

I have a conflict with HF's interview date... anyone want to switch with me for Jan.8th? Anyone???
