The following options are available:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Virtual personal interviews will be scheduled by invitation on the dates listed above. During the day, scheduled from 9:00-5:00 ET, faculty and interns in the applicant\u2019s area of interest will be available to discuss the training program.<\/li>\n<li>Requests for interviews at times other than the designated January period may be honored under special circumstances. Although the Director of Training may be available at alternative times, contact with other faculty and current interns cannot be guaranteed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Applicants are requested not to contact the training office regarding interviews prior to that date.
