Interviews are typically held on select Monday mornings, and include a welcome and overview from our Chairman and a presentation about our program given by a current resident. You can expect to interview with approx. 5 faculty (including our Chairman and Program Directors) and 2 residents. Interviews are 10-15 minutes in length.
