Interview Day

The Evening Before Your Interview

You are invited to attend a casual dinner with the residents. Most residents prefer to host the applicant dinner at their home, though they also may choose to take you to one of their favorite restaurants.

6:30 p.m. – Several of the residents will meet you in the lobby of the Glidden House to drive you to the dinner, and back. On the way, the residents will drive you past the hospital so you know where to go the next morning. Depending on where the dinner is being hosted, you may see some of the residents' favorite places mentioned throughout this website.
