Hello:
I interviewed at Stanford a few weeks ago and it seemed to me that the residents were overworked, and generally not happy. I also got a bit pimped by one or two interviewers, but the PD and Chairman were amazingly nice people...so I feel conflicted.
Stanford has no CRNAs, so the residents work a lot harder. Also it seemed there wasn't much teaching other than within the OR--much learning had to be done by the resident on their own time...that worried me...the residents said more or less 'we're all smart people and can just figure it [anesthesia] out--'...i dunno if I am that bright...i feel i need more direction...
Since my interview they've contacted me and appear quite interested, but I am a bit concerned about ranking them high on my list now. However Stanford has a great name, and I want to rank it high...any suggestions?
Thanks.
