candidates. These visits must be scheduled and take place prior to October 15, 2010. We are closed to
visitors during the months of November and December, each year.
These one day interviews are typically scheduled on Fridays, so that the visitor can attend our Friday
seminar activities, which may include: Biopsy Conference, Gross Rounds, Dermatology Rounds and
Lab Animal Pathology Rounds. Additionally, the one day visitor will have the opportunity to meet a
variety of faculty, graduate students and residents. As time permits, the visitor can observe the necropsy
cases of the day. These visits must be scheduled well in advance and all travel expenses are the
responsibility of the visitor.
Fees: There are no fees for one day interviews for prospective residency candidates.

Friday date(s) for a visit to: Ms. Becky Griffey, Residency Application Coordinator at

better for scheduling purposes.

visiting on a particular day.
