Should you be granted an interview, you will receive an email through ERAS requesting you to call the department to schedule your interview date.  Our interview period is from mid November through the end of January.  We average two interview dates per week, on various days.  The interview day begins at 8:00am and will end at approximately 3:00pm.  Our Interviews are held at Hartford Hospital, as this is our primary teaching site.  Our residents will contact you regarding an informal social gathering held the evening before the interview day, should you be in town.  This is a good time to casually meet and ask the residents questions.
