Interview Experience

"4 individual interviews, 1 with PD, 1 with pgy4, 2 with faculty. Only have 4 surgeons on staff for the program, so not many options for interviewers. Despite that, everyone was very kind. something to note -- they don't participate in the match. PD was very direct and transparent about this"

"The night before, the residents did a Q&A for the interview candidates. The morning of, the program coordinator shared a little bit about the program while waiting for the Program Director to give a powerpoint presentation about the program. We then moved into a waiting room with the other candidates and had the chance to chat with each other and occasionally with the program coordinator. We interviewed with the PD, faculty and the program coordinator. "
