Interviewing Process


Highlights:

  • Interviews are scheduled as either a morning or afternoon session, which includes an introduction from Dr. McLoud, a tour of the department, and three interviews.
  • All candidates are invited to join us for dinner on the night before the interview to meet a small group of current residents at a restaurant in Boston or Cambridge.
  • Interviewees should meet in Founders House, 2nd Floor
Of the applications received, approximately 65 candidates are selected for personal interviews, which are an important part of the evaluation process for potential applicants. Although we wish we could meet all of our applicants, logistical and time constraints allow us to meet only a small number of applicants for an interview. Applicants selected for an interview will be contacted directly in order to select from one of several dates in December and January.

The interview provides an opportunity to meet each applicant in order to assess the personal qualities that are required of a successful radiology resident. The half-day session also provides us an opportunity to share our excitement about the department with each applicant, by familiarizing candidates with our residents and staff, the residency structure, our physical plant and facilities, and research endeavors. Applicants will have an informational session with Dr. McLoud, a tour of the department, and three personal interviews. Applicants are also invited to attend our midday didactic conference and meet with current residents.

All interviewees are also welcomed to join other interviewees and a group of residents for dinner at a restaurant in Boston or Cambridge on the night before the interview. This provides a more informal setting to meet residents one-on-one and learn about the residency. Details about this dinner will be provided to interviewees as the interview day approaches. Although we hope that travel plans will allow applicants to attend the dinner, we understand that the interview season is difficult to coordinate and stress that this is a purely optional component of the interview experience.
