Application deadline for 2023-24 residency year: Sunday January 1, 2023
Interviews: After initial application review, we will select eligible applicants for
a brief virtual screening interview in January. We will then invite a
final subset of applicants to participate in a lengthier interview, which
will be scheduled to occur in February.
A note about 2023-2024 residency year interviews: Final interviews will be conducted for all candidates in a virtual format.
While we agree that in-person interviews are enjoyable and have benefits,
we strongly believe in and support the equity for all candidates that is provided by a virtual format. We believe that all candidates –
regardless of their ability to travel – should be given equal consideration
with our program. Virtual interviews also have an additional benefit of
being more
environmentally responsible.
