Lankenau Hospital

First Impressions: Lankenau Hospital is located in Wynnewood, a suburb just outside of Philly; I've driven past it on several occasions to go to shop at the nearby farmer's market. It was a community hospital; one of my upper levels said he'd interviewed there for residency but hadn't been impressed when the intern kept answering pages and was too busy to really tell him about the program during the tour. I hoped the fellowship program was different.
Interview Day: What is going on with the weather here? I thought it was some sort of April Fool's joke when I saw huge snowflakes falling outside, but fortunately it didn't stick. There were three applicants total; the program director welcomed us and took us to Grand Rounds. The topic was rheumatology, and the speaker was a UTSW-trained rheumatologist from Baylor in Dallas, which was a pleasant surprise. Afterwards the program director told us a little about the program for about 1 hr, and then the 3rd year fellow took us on a tour around the hospital. The hospital itself was nowhere as large as HUH, but more spacious and well-lit. Amusingly enough, I was most impressed with the variety of food in the cafeteria; fresh sushi daily! =P Prior to interviews we attended tumor board at noon conference, where I noted that the camaraderie among the residents and fellows was really good. I had two interviews, one with the PD, one with another attending. I appreciated that the first attending had prepared a list of questions to ask me based on my CV; he even asked me questions about my dean's letter, which was a big surprise. The PD asked me a list of questions that she asks everyone. Among the tough ones were "Tell me something about yourself that's not on your CV" and "Tell me something your patients taught you." Not sure I answered the second question well, and the 1st one took me a while, but I said I had perfect pitch.
