Interviews

There is a casual social function for potential applicants and spouses/significant others the evening prior to interviews. This gives applicants a chance to meet our residents in an informal setting. The interview day begins at 7:00 am and concludes at approximately 3:00pm. The day consists of hospital tours; attendance at Surgery Grand Rounds Conference; Surgery Morbidity & Mortality Conference; a meeting with our Program Director, Dr. Osland; multiple interviews and lunch.
