INTERVIEWS
Night Before
There will be an optional dinner social event at one of the outstanding Charlottesville restaurants/bars the night before each interview session. The dinners generally start at 7pm and are always casual attire. They are typically either on the historic downtown pedestrian mall or on ‘The Corner’ which is across from the hospital grounds.
As your specific interview day approaches, one of the resident recruitment chairs will send you more detailed information. If you have any questions prior to then, please don’t hesitate to contact either Chris, Camerone, or Sarah.

Note: Washington, DC, is a good 3 hour drive from Charlottesville during rush-hour. If you will need transportation to/from the Charlottesville-Albemarle airport, some hotels offer FREE round-trip transportation. The Charlottesville airport is about 20 minutes out of town. If you need parking, use ONLY the 11th Street Garage as you will get a parking ticket if you park in the patient lot across from the Emergency Department (we are unable to reimburse for those costs).
If you are unable to attend, kindly let us know as soon as possible so that another candidate may have the opportunity to interview.
We look forward to seeing you on your interview day!
