Interviews - Going Virtual!
Interviews will remain virtual. During the interview, you will meet with the program director, several faculty members and residents. Ahead of the interview we will provide you a tour of our facilities and residency in a virtual format. There will be time to address any questions, comments or concerns you may have on the interview day. In addition, on the day of the interview we will provide information on a second look to occur after we have complete our rank list.
