This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Anyone willing to switch their 12/4 or 12/11 interview date for my 12/1 date? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
 
I interviewed there during my 4th year in 2003-2004. I was very impressed with the program for the following reasons:

1. It has an affiliated VA on or very near the main hospital campus which provided great surgical volume
2. They had no holes in terms of sub-specialty coverage.
3. They have a contract with the local navy base to do prk on the enlisted soliders, so you get a refractive experience that is very unique and in my opinion unparalleled.
4. Though not on the coast, it is in florida which beats most places in terms of weather.

Overall, a very solid program with nice faculty, good numbers, and they don't ship you to Timbuktu for cataract experience.
 
speaking to a program director and some people on the interview trail i have heard only the best about u of florida..i haven't heard anything from them yet though.
 
I applied there because one of the ophtho attendings here told me that it's a great program but I never heard back! Looks like you guys already got interviews there....I don't know anything about OSU.
