Interviews are granted to selected applicants after initial review of completed applications by the faculty. A personal, on-site interview is required. The OMP is used to match all incoming residents. Interviews are typically held on Friday and Saturday of the second weekend in December. Each applicant interviews with full-time clinical faculty, research faculty, and meets all of the current residents.
