Interview process description:

 

Recruitment

Considering the values of safety, equity, ethics, science, and autonomy, we will engage in virtual interviewing and recruitment for the 2025-2026 intern training class.  Our AAPI deadline will be November 1, 2024.  We would expect to review applications and offer virtual interviews for December and January. The interview day would be a half day structured around a presentation by track directors, Q&A with current interns, and 3-4 interviews with faculty.  To give you a best sense of our program overall, we will also provide materials related to the physical space of our program and what it is like to live in Madison. 

Training

The 2025-26 year will likely involve a combination of virtual and in-person clinical care, supervision, and seminars.  All interns will be in person/onsite (M-F, 8am-5pm) to engage in these training activities, providing a strong sense of our supportive training community. Our program track directors and administrative support staff will be available to assist in carefully crafting a program of clinical activities to meet individualized training goals and objectives. This is a core value of our training program.

Thank you for considering our training program.  Our program is committed to provide a safe and secure setting that promotes professional growth.  Please do not hesitate to reach out for conversation and questions.
