holy cow, feb 15th is pretty late in the season. Not much chance of a conflict there, ehh?

We typically have interviewed very late and rank lists go in later than usual this year. Its good to make an impression right at the end...thats probably why i did my residency at WVU!

Dr. Silverstein,

Thanks for posting the update and I hope to hear from WVU soon!??

h$%&o dr. silverstein. VERY interested in wvu. second year. trying to get a feel as to where i stand. honors. boards in june. one pub. aoa fellowship likely, results in march. other papers being reviewed. above all else, hard worker, good guy, etc. what's happening in morgantown? how do i stack up? thank you, in advance.

If you email me I'd be happy to answer any questions you have and refer you to one of our residents. I'll also send you a copy of my sub I tip sheet, which I'm sure others would agree is pretty good. We are currently interviewing for a new chairman here at WVU. Eric Jones is our interim program director and I'm the education director. Our residents are still very busy with good operative cases / clinics as they are working with our private group more and our new sports medicine surgeon, Robin Gehrman starts this week. We may also add another trauma surgeon and possibly someone to the private group in the near future. The Dean seems committed to expanding the department as he did with Neurosurgery and Gen Surgery lately. Maybe even a new ortho building????

Thanks for the interest.
