Interviews

Applicants selected for an interview will be contacted via email regarding available dates and times. We utilize Residency CAS for application and interview scheduling. Interviews are offered on a rolling basis. We recommend checking your email regularly for openings and updates, as our schedule remains dynamic throughout the season.
Interview days are held virtually as recommended by the EM Council of Residency Directors (CORD).

Pre-interview dinner with residents

Our residents host a casual virtual meeting for interviewees the evening before each scheduled interview day.
