Interviews

You will be notified via e-mail if you are offered an interview after your complete application has been reviewed. We encourage you to schedule your interview as soon as you receive this notification.

Interviews with faculty are scheduled on Fridays during the months of October, November, December, and January. Dinner is hosted by the residents on the evening prior to the formal interview but is not required as part of the interview process. Dinner allows you ample time to interact with some of our residents in a relaxed, informal atmosphere.

You are welcome to attend resident conference on the Thursday morning prior to your interview day. Please contact Natasha Brocks, our program coordinator, to schedule.
