More chances to teach labs/seminar. Also, there was too much speciality contact lenses in on of the SUNY rotations. It would be better to have the chance to choose another clinic is: peds instead. Also, having to work every Saturday while other residents (head trauma, CL, primary care etc) did not have too was unfair. We all should have to work on Saturdays or at least have rotating Saturdays to make it more fair Understanding or resident roles in other clinics. Supervisor? Direct care? Grand rounds? Education is very limited from many of the supervisors, so more effort should have been taken to have additional lectures to aid our learning. Many times I felt like I could have learned just as much from a great mentor in a private practice setting!! I would have enjoyed precepting more. Morning lectures when associated with specialty clinics were beneficial but otherwise didn't help as much. Exhaustive work (minor/major AND paper) on top of VA clinical duties, it was easy to burn out. VA residencies are tougher and allot for less time to complete the assignments. Too many little deadlines to meet along the way. Maybe having more regular emails about the schedule like upcoming Fri programs, or a countdown to majors/minors/paper due date and residency end date. Etc.

I think it was overall a good experience. Some things were disorganized, but what isn't with so many residents to keep track of.

After doing this residency, I feel like I wasn't ready at all to be a clinician after I graduated but I am much more confident now and will be able to handle being on my own when the residency is over. Speakers Workshop was a traumatic experience (not necessarily for me, but watching others suffer was very awkward). Please tell the residents that it is serious, to dress up, to make a PowerPoint, that they will be harshly critiqued etc. These things were not told to the in-house residents and the result was difficult to watch.

I felt the staff and faculty at SUNYOPT were extremely helpful and very responsive to concerns and inquires.
