Anyone have any experience with Geisinger's anesthesia residency program? I realize it is relatively new but there is little info on SDN on the program. Thanks.
Its in Danville and the population is 5k. I liked the program based of my interview, but can't remember too many specifics
Then again, rural Pennsylvania voted overwhelmingly for Trump. So, if you're a minority, think twice.

Advertising weekend trips to NYC etc. is like saying that Death Valley is awesome, because it's only 2.5 hours from Las Vegas. With all due respect. When one is a resident, one doesn't/shouldn't have time for many trips. Otherwise, a nice rural area and a good big hospital can be very conducive to a great GME experience, even better than a fancy-shmancy big name program in an expensive big****tycity.

Just out of curiosity, who are the big names on the faculty? (Not that it matters. I haven't learned much practical stuff from most of the big names in my residency; those who can't do, teach.)

How well does it pay?My friend works out there as an anesthesiologist. She likes it cause it pays well, hours are great and CoL is looooowwwww...

Interviewed there, seemed like a reasonable program. Location is the biggest negative. My only other insight is that I was applying for "r" positions (as well as categorical) and they had one available (my principal reason for applying to the program). They neglected to tell me that they would no longer be offering the "r" position in the match untill my interview with the program director. Pretty Busch Leauge IMO. I probably still would have gone on the interview, but would have appreciated if they told me before I took a day off of residency.
anyone have ideas on the best way to travel there? best close airport, shuttles/way of getting to danville...
Just don't do it at night. Rural PA at night is like something out of one of the Michael Myers films. Scary as f... Especially in winter. I almost had a panic attack the time I did it. Being from TX, I am not used to the pitch blackness of the NE and SE because of their trees and no street lights.Probably by flying into harrisburg and driving just over an hour north.

You do realize that PA was part of the Union during the Civil War, right?Fuel up and have nice headlights! although it is Confederate country so it is a real possibility if you're not Caucasian might be dangerous. Those hillbillies forgot the north won the civil war

Rural PA has more of a Children of the Corn vibe, anyway.

For sure. My opinion is that SW is by far the best option during interview season because of free cancellations and changes to flights. A flight to Pennsylvania is cross country for me, so it's nice to purchase a SW ticket that can be changed if i happen to get another interview back east and would like to kill two birds with one stone.Well there’s Baltimore or Philly.
