Hi all -
I remember last year at this time, 4th years started posting impressions of programs they interviewed at. I thought it would be good idea to start a general forum for this again. I'll start:
Einstein - Bronx:
Everyone here was very, very nice. it's set outside of the nyc "rat race" which I thought was refreshing. residents carry 25 - 35 patients at a time which leaves a lot of time for psychotherapy patients and other interests. all residents felt that they really still "had a life" during residency. Psychotherapy is very respected as the chair is an analyst. The program has good links to major psychoanalytic centers in the city. The patient population is the general population in the bronx - many are indigent. They do not have a specialized center for eating disorders (my interest). Bad points of the program is the limited patient population and limited centers of their own (psychoanalytic, eating disorders, etc...) it seems as if you have to go out to get these things. They do have a "track" program which will allow you to follow an interest throughout all four years - ie: psychosomatic, psychotherapy, substance abuse, cl... This is one of my safe programs, but I feel I could be happy here and get a good education.
post your experiences please 🙂
