Applicants for interviews to take place in 2023
If you plan to submit an ERAS application at the end of 2022 in order to interview in 2023, you should regularly return to this page for updates.
Traditionally, our interviews consisted of a dinner Tuesday night where applicants could meet residents and faculty in an informal environment, followed by attendance of our Wednesday morning conference, then interviews and tours of the facility ending in the early afternoon.
In accordance with directives from the Thoracic Surgery Directors Association, only virtual interviews will be conducted in 2023. We plan to conduct these interviews during the same time frame: Wednesdays in February to early March.

submission of Procedure Videos
To supplement the limited, 'virtual' interview environment, we would like to offer applicants we invite for interviews the opportunity to submit digital format video of procedures they have performed (with all appropriate permissions), or of performance of a simulated graft to graft anastomosis. A URL link to such video can be sent to us, once the applicant has been invited for an interview.
OUR INTERVIEW TIME FRAME AND FORMAT
Our interview season for applicants submitting their ERAS information beginning December 2022 (Residency start date 2024) will begin February 2023. Applicants invited to interview will have the opportunity to speak to our faculty and residents socially (through Zoom) the evening before formal interview conducted Wednesday mornings through early afternoon. On Wednesdays, after a brief orientation at 630am Central Time, candidates will attend our Wednesday Morning conference from 7am to 8am, followed by interviews with our faculty, and the opportunity to speak with our residents during breaks.
