The Interview Process
- After review of applications through ERAS, applicants will be invited to interview with our residency.

- One of our residents will be your "Resident Host". Your Resident Host is your main point of contact with our program.
- Candidates will be interviewed by faculty members and residents and will receive a tour of the facilities. You will be invited to attend an informal dinner with residents the evening before your interview.
- Applicants are responsible for interview expenses such as travel and incidentals. We provide lodging the evening prior to the interview as well as dinner the evening prior to your interview.
- Interviews for the upcoming academic year are November 1, 2007, through January 30, 2008.
