Interviews

All interviews are held over a virtual platform.

While we understand the importance of in-person interaction, virtual interviews allow us to connect with talented applicants from diverse backgrounds across the country. This fosters equity in the application process and reduces our environmental footprint.

Through our virtual platform, we'll showcase our program's strengths and supportive environment. We're confident you'll gain valuable insights and discover why our rheumatology training may be an outstanding fit for your career goals.
