If anyone has any information on University South Florida psychiatry residency, I would love to hear their opinion. I am being pulled towards this location because of my husband's job, however, I had a very hard time getting a good "feel" for the program since I met only 2 residents (and 1 was during an interview).
At my interview, I (along with 2 other candidates) had lunch with only 1 resident. We met 1 other resident throughout the day (who was the chief resident for an interview). Did other interviewers have this experience? Were other residents simply uninterested in the interview day or were they unable to get off of work?
I have heard rumors of a difficult work load and call schedule, but am not sure if this is true. I would really like to hear from anyone who has insight into the program with regards to how happy the residents seem, pros/cons of doing so much at the VA, faculty strength, lifestyle. Also, I interviewed very early in the season and they did not seem to have any decisions made as to what would need to change with regards to the new ACGME requirements for overnight call, so I would really like to hear of any plans for next year for the call schedule (night float?). Any info from current residents/students/rotators would be GREATLY appreciated!!
Thank you!
