Medical students who apply to our program may be invited to visit our campus for an interview. Interviews are granted after receipt and careful evaluation of application materials by the faculty. Applications are reviewed in the fall and selections will be made in early November. We are aware that Deans letters will not be released until November 1. If you have any questions, please call (214) 648-7101. Interviews are held on four separate days: January 22-23, 2009, and February 5-6, 2009. Applicants will be informed of the specific dates in their invitation letter. Invitation letters are mailed in November.
