We review all applications and invite candidates to interview as the review process proceeds.

Tips

Taking a cab? Your driver may be more familiar with the name "Bernard Mitchell Hospital" than with the University of Chicago.

The entrance to the Q-corridor on the second floor is directly opposite the Surgical Family Waiting Room.

If you're not staying overnight, bring your luggage with you.  We will find a place for it until your interviews are completed.
