Is the program "malignant?" I've heard this label pinned on the program a couple times on the interview trail and never got that impression at my interview there. I do know residents there work very long hours on
some rotations but didn't get the feeling anyone was being treated unfairly or that the place wasn't anything less than collegial.
Also, I've read that residents can't do away electives for rotations not offered at Yale's program. Has this affected fellowship placement for residents who have wanted to go elsewhere?
And finally, regarding post-interview feedback from the PD... I read mine and it sounds great, but... how do I decode it?
