Interviewed at St vincents in Toledo, OH-
was very impressed with the complimentary hotel stay the night before, at probably the nicest hotel in the area, and the dinner the night before. Everyone got along very well, and they were excellent hosts! The interview the next day was well-planned. Since all of the interviewees stay at the same hotel, they had a good shuttle to take you to dinner & the hospital, so you didnt have to worry about getting lost. When we first arrived, the residents gave a slide show of the program, then the PD came in and talked about the program. The only downside was that the PD somewhat repeated the same things as the residents. They did have refreshments available for us during this presentation. Then we each had 3 one-on-one interviews with 2 faculty, 1 resident for about 15 minutes each. This went well, the weirdest thing I got asked was "if you had all the money in the world to do a research project, what project would you do and why?" this totally threw me off, because I hate research and this was not even a program strong in research! Anyway then we got to sit in for part of their grand rounds, and then had lunch and a tour. Everyone got along well, and the PD and the residency coordinator, Terry Moore, were all extraordinarily friendly and helpful. Lots of moonlighting experience available, with lots of $$$$$$!!! The helicopter/EMS system is excellent as well. I was impressed, and Toledo is not THAT bad!
