has anybody interviewed at yale or have any thoughts on their program?

the surgery dept here at yale was, in fact, made an example of with the whole losing accreditation issue. in the case of the yale surgery dept, one of the complaints lodged against it had to do with resident work hours and steps were taken to fix this problem (hiring PAs to help cover the floor, etc). as a result, the surgery dept was subsequently re-accredited -- something many posters either neglect to mention or don't know about.
DR said:I've interviewed for the primary care program. It seems like a great program, but the location is not great. Most of the rotations are done at 2 small community hospitals in Waterbury, and there isn't much out there, or in between. I don't know about the categorical program.
