Intern Year--but what intern doesn't complain?
Does the program provide health insurance?
Both Medical and Dental

Describe the surrounding communities.
Entertainment is limited to malls, movie theaters,
restaurants, etc.  Not much in the way of the arts. Unsure about schools.

What else would you like other spouses to know about the program?
Mnterns are not considered a part of the program which is dissapointing.  The first year of the program you are on your own as General Surgery does not consider you one of their's either.  The only social activities, functions, etc seem to be drug lunches/dinners, year end dinner, Xmas party, and one
summer BBQ.  If you need or want the social part of a community, you should look outside of the residency for it.
