Audition/Interview Process

2- or 4-week audition (sub-internship) rotations are available from August to January.

We do not require audition rotations but the time they provide for us to get to know an applicant can be invaluable to us when we decide our rank list.

Interview season: October-January.

We typically interview on Friday mornings with an informal interview dinner Thursday night before with residents.

For questions on applying to our program, email our chief resident Eric Lesh, D.O.
