Interviews

Interviews are held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays beginning in October and ending by mid- January. Interviews are by invitation only and all communications regarding applications will be conducted through ERAS. 

Interviews will all be virtual, and begin with a program introduction and open discussion led by our Program Director, Amber Whited-Watson, DO. Additionally, we will be offering frequent “Zoom Socials” to candidates who have interviewed, and are interested, to meet with current residents and faculty in a more relaxed environment to ask questions and learn about daily life as a resident physician at MetroHealth Department of Family Medicine.
