Hey guys- is it expected for us to stay after the interview day ends and observe/shadow in the ED? I've heard different things. If a program doesn't offer, does that mean they don't care? Sometimes this will mean I have to stay an extra day in the city because of flight issues.

It's not expected, but if you really like a program you should probably work a shift to see how things go and kind of get to know a few people. But if you don't want to do it, don't.

The flip side is that it gives you more time to accidentally say something stupid, do something awkward, be unable to answer a pimping question, etc and ruin your chances at a place in a single moment.
With that said, as was discussed above, on the interview, you don't get a sense of how the ED runs rather than just seeing a tour of it. I wished I would have done more shadowing because there was a lot of places where I was like "huh" when trying to remember if I'd like working there
