The program director and the application review committee review all applications that meet the above criteria and determine which applicants we invite to an interview. Our interviews will take place November to January, on predetermined Fridays by invitation only. Invitations will be sent via email. Applicants will receive correspondence whether they are selected to interview or not. We will only offer 60 interview positions.

All interviews will be virtual this match cycle. We will offer a pre-interview resident “open house” via zoom the night prior to interview day. We will begin interview day at 8am CST with our Surgical Grand Rounds Conference. Interviews will begin after Grand Rounds. Each applicant will participate in one leadership, 2 faculty and 1 PGY4 resident interview session.
