    6. Selection Process
      1. All candidates are reviewed through their ERAS applications.
      2. An Application Review Committee considers ERAS applications for interview selection. They decide suitability of applicants for interview by ranking them based upon academic and personal achievements.
      3. Selected candidates are interviewed by the Program Director, Department Chair, other faculty, and residents. Candidates will have separate time with residents at a casual gathering the night before their interview. They will have one-on-one time with PGY 3 residents during a tour of the facilities. There can be time set aside in the afternoon for any special interviews or requests.
      4. When all interviews are complete, the faculty and residents meet to discuss and rank all applicants with final approval by the Program Director. Critical determinants for selection are academic accomplishments, attitude, personal, and communication qualities, enthusiasm for this program, and experiences and interests outside of medicine.
