Anyone know anything about the program? I got an invite, yet I'm not very familiar with the program. I went to their website, and got the generic info, but would like to hear from someone with experience in either residency, rotation, or interviewing. Nothing on scutwork either, so I'm kinda in the cold on this program.
I would appreciate any input on this topic.

I just got some further info on the interview. It is held at a hotel. ???? That seems sort of sketchy to me. Other than that I have no info, but would love to hear some as well...

Hey Mignonne,
You're doing the right thing...
Interview at all the anesthesia programs in the State of New York.
The most friendly state to DO students and where I was fortunate to find a position...
And if Buffalo is too cold...come to Downstate.


Good luck to all of you applying this year !!!

😀 Thanks! Hey I lived in ERIE PA for two years. I can take a little cold and snow!! Hopefully it all works out in the end. Thanks for the kind words.

Ahh
I've actually never met anyone from LECOM, so I really don't know much about it.
How did you like it there ?

I really wanted to do my internship in Pittsburgh but ended up in NYC for personal reasons...It also avoided me having to move twice since I matched in NY for Anesthesia...

Any questions on any specific programs or the whole process in general, let me know...
It's going to be a stressfull year for all of you, but hopefully with a great outcome in the middle of march !!!

Interviewed there last year. Dr. Lema is great. Big name in the field. The interviews WERE held off-site last year. Mine was at some super-swank private club. They claim that they don't have it on-site, because there really is no one site... IF I remember correctly, the official department office is at the VA or something like that, and I think there are 10-11 different hospitals that they rotate through. I wish I remembered more to tell you. The residents were generally happy, and believed they received very good training. It was the only place I interviewed at where there were actually two attendings interviewing you at the same time, a little different. I think there were 3 different interviews. There was nothing super-impressive about the program though, It fell on the lower end of my rank list.
