Interview #5

Akron Children's Hospital

Initial Thoughts:

Pros: It's a nice children's hospital.  The residents really enjoy it there.  There's a new program director that seems to be changing things for the better.

Cons: Passage rate for Peds boards is only in the 50th percentile (ouch).   Serious NICU cases get sent to other hospitals.  Lack o' Culture in Akron (that's my way of saying there's not much in way of the arts).  They don't tend to draw the strongest of candidates.  Poor electronic records.  5 hours to both sets of grandparents.

Bottom Line: Ehhhh- let's just say we'd rather not end up there.
