I only interviewed there,
What I liked:
1. In terms of "Gut feel," UK was #2 on my list behind my home program.
2. Young, excited faculty who seem like they loved to teach and work with residents.
3. Really down to earth residents and faculty. Definitely a "Jock" program. Coolest chairman I met on the trail.
4. College town. Big plus.
5. Impressive facilities.
6. Great pay, low cost of liveing.
7. Beautiful women in the town (see #4).
8. Shriner's hospital.
9. Residents were happier here than just about every other place that I visited.
10. Relatively chill intern year. Residency as a whole didn't seem too taxing.
11. Opportunities (and support staff) for research if you want.
12. Jodi DeRaimo's Italian restaurant - this is where we went the night before the interview. Great food, and "Man-sized" plates. . . .unlike those damn 3-cm diameter plates that I had at most interview dinners/luncheons. Freakin' meatballs were bigger than my head
.
What I didn't like:
1. Not a "big-name" academic program, but is an up and coming program.
2. Small program (only 3 residents/yr)
3. Didn't have a full representation of subspecialties here (i.e. no onc guy).
4. Not many other things that I could find wrong with the program.
