I am going to graduate in May and I am already looking forward to putting together a resume so I can *hopefully* get into a new grad program somewhere. I'm not sure how to research hospitals to learn about them and their specialties. Could someone help point me in the right direction? Thanks!!!

The best thing? Google search the name of the hospital and city and look at the results. Number one is usually their website, which is a huge resource of good information.
But information from other sites will pop up too. Warning bells go off if they have a bunch of "rip off reports" or bad ratings on various sites.
Also, http://www.ahd.com - American Hospital Directory. You can look up the hospital you're interested in and get a basic rundown of the services they offer, annual discharges, annual revenue, etc.
Hope that helps!
Thanks! I know that going into an interview we should have info about them, but I just wasn't sure where to get it. I hate hate hate interviews, lol. So to fight the nervousness I like to be super-prepared.
