Interview Day

Due to social distancing guidelines as well as recommendations from the AAMC, NRMP, APCCMPD and other organizations, all interviews this applicant season will be conducted online and interview “visits” will be virtual.  We will be sending out links to our virtual interview day which will include a welcome orientation from the program director as well as to a virtual tour and examples of our online conferences.  Applicants who are chosen to interview will be given options for dates/times for meetings on zoom.  These interviews will take place in assorted time blocks to accommodate different time zones.  Interviews will last approximately 2 hours - please plan accordingly.  Interviewees will also be given an opportunity to have a casual “lunch” with our fellows to ask any questions they have regarding the training program.  We hope that you will seriously consider interviewing with our program, and good luck!
