Chicago is incredible. Its the perfect city. A great mix of nightlife, good fun people and midwestern feel. Living here for residency would be a dream come true. And the program I am working at would be a wonderful place to train. Such a diverse mix of patients, pathology and trauma mixed it. I am getting good feedback from residents and faculty and have a really good feeling about the program. One of my favorite attendings has a mix between cocky, abrasive, and teddy bear ish-ness. His bark is much worse than his bite. After a few shifts with me he said, “I like you. your smart. I would be OK with you coming here for residency.” Coming from him, this is a huuuuge compliment.
Dr. V is our student coordinator and hes awesome. So great to work with. Incredibly smart, nice [and pretty darn good looking too]. Every attending and resident I have worked with has been a pleasure to be around and learn from!
On the flip side, I just got my eval from the program I worked at in Brooklyn and they did not think I did as stellar. Its a weird feeling because I also had great feedback from attendings and residents but obviously something went wrong. To be honest, its not somewhere i would want to go but im still bummed. Actually i am a little angry also considering i worked so hard and spent a lot of time and energy to get a good eval and it turned out to be mediocre [at best]. Morale of this story is you win some, and most definitely lose some!
