Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we will be following best practices and national guidelines, which means all our interview dates will be conducted 100% via Zoom. All interview sessions will be conducted on Eastern Standard Time (EST).

This decision was not taken lightly, as you will not get a personal feel for our medical campus or interact in-person with our fantastic faculty and residents during your interviews. However, the health and well-being of our applicants is top priority, and we are modifying our interview day itinerary to offer you the best experience possible!
