After An Interview
As you travel the interview trail, the programs start to look alike.
As soon as you can after each interview, write down your detailed impression of the program. Use the Residency Program Evaluation Guide, completing a form for each program where you interviewed. Doing so will establish a solid baseline, so you can compare apples to apples.
Then review your Residency Preference Profile and compare and rate programs using the Residency Preference Exercise. Rate each new residency program compared with previous ones and regularly update the rankings.
