✅1. Interviewers were super nice and interviews were low-stress and conversational. Very well-rounded program with robust surgical, cosmetic, and medical dermatology exposure.
✅2. Honestly such a hidden gem, so underrated, despite it's location so much exposure to so many different aspects of derm both medical and procedural. Great people within the program! Really not sure how this program doesn't have more hype!
❌1. To be transparent the parking situation really does suck, you have to park far away then shuttle into the hospital. Not ideal when it's dark and cold. Also Iowa City and the surrounding towns give a nice college town vibe but definitely not for everyone!
