Interview Day Details
Interview season
Interviews for candidates take place from the end of October until the end of January beginning on a Thursday and ending the following Friday afternoon.
Thursday details
Candidates start at 2 p.m. on Thursday with a greeting from the resident recruitment director, and a tour of Emory University and Grady Memorial Hospital led by the current chief residents.
Attire
The attire for Thursday is business casual, and candidates may benefit from wearing comfortable walking shoes.
Dinner
Candidates are taken back to the hotel by late afternoon for a chance to change clothes and unwind before meeting again in the hotel lobby to be escorted to dinner with a group of current Emory residents and their significant others. The dinners are held at lively, unique Atlanta restaurants, and they serve as open forums for discussion and questions about life as an Emory Anesthesiology resident. Some applicants choose to "go out" beyond dinner to explore the city of Atlanta; most go back to the hotel to prepare for their academic interviews the next morning.
Friday details
Friday is a more formal setting. Candidates arrive at Emory University Hospital at 8 a.m., where breakfast is served. Each candidate typically has three, 20-minute interviews with various faculty members. The day ends at approximately 1 p.m., and at that time applicants are shuttled back to the hotel or continue on their various travel arrangements.Interview Dates (2020-2021)
