Interviewing with the Physician Scientist Training Program

The Interview Process

Link to PSTP Home Page
The process for interviewing applicants has been changed during recent years. We believe the new interview format allows more interaction between interviewees and members (students and faculty) of the PSTP. These changes ultimately benefit both parties: interviewees learn more about the PSTP, and the PSTP learns more about the interviewees. A sample schedule of an interview weekend is provided to give prospective students a general idea of what to expect during their visit to U.C.
