Interview Process

Thank you for your interest in our program. All interviews are by invitation only and will be scheduled through Thalamus. We will notify all applicants of their status (invited for interview, not selected to interview, or waitlist) no later than Sept. 30. We typically invite about 20 candidates to interview and have a waitlist of no more than 5 candidates. In our experience with virtual interviews, we usually have 1-2 cancellations, at which time we would select a candidate from our waitlist for an interview.

Interviews are expected to take place virtually; dates to be determined.
