Oh shoot! That’s intense... I haven’t heard a peep since hearing someone will contact me hahaJust updating with Yale's format - series of 30 minute, 1:1 interviews lasting anywhere from 5-6 hours.

Thank youuuu! You’re gonna rock it too!Congrats on Davis @Momokeen you're going to rock it!! I heard from Tulane today still waiting on Wake Forest.
SEVEN HOURS for an interview???Sure! So far, I've interviewed (or been offered an interview with a description of what to expect) at the following:
- NYU/Regeneron: 90 minutes long, including a 20-30 minute presentation on a topic of your choosing. Pretty well structured, started with introductions of those on the call (~10-15 people), followed by my presentation, a few questions from faculty regarding the presentation, then into more standardized interview questions. Final 10 minutes or so dedicated to answering my questions about the position.
- UNC Chapel Hill: 30 minutes long, started with brief introduction of those on the call (<10 people), overview of the residency program, a few standardized questions (one per clinician), and finally answering questions I had.
- Tri-I: ~7 hours long, including a 20-30 minute presentation on a topic of your choosing. Very, very structured. ~30 minute interviews primarily 1:1 (sometimes 2 or 3:1) with all upper level staff. Haven't had it yet (next week!) but that's the overview!
- Cornell: 1 hour long, haven't had it yet (next week!) but will report back!
I’m going small animal rotating as well! I have 2 specialty ECC internships, but the rest are all rotating.I'm applying for small animal rotating internships this go around. just waiting on one LOR and will be submitting my application shortly. I know you can submit at any time but I'd like to send a complete packet. anyone else applying for small animal rotating?
oh i didn't realize you could apply for specialty internships right out of the gate. I guess emergency is different from other specialties. that's awesome!I’m going small animal rotating as well! I have 2 specialty ECC internships, but the rest are all rotating.
Some of them you can, some you can’t! Just depends on the Internship’s requirements. Both of the ones I applied to readily welcome new gradsoh i didn't realize you could apply for specialty internships right out of the gate. I guess emergency is different from other specialties. that's awesome!
Yep, it was a long one indeed! Just a series of 1:1 (or 1:2) interviews back to back, getting through three institutions worth of clinicians and faculty! And yes, for both Tri-I and NYU it was made evident I would need to present on initial offer of the interview.SEVEN HOURS for an interview???
did you know that you had to present a topic before the interview or were they like “surprise! presentation time!”
oh geez. That's rough! I feel like I would get really tired throughout. Like that's longer than the NAVLE, and halfway through my brain essentially went into Windows shutdown mode.Yep, it was a long one indeed!

Applied to many similar ones! Wondering who interviews and if we will hear anything before March 1stSmall animal rotating here as well!! I'm so excited to get this process rolling! I applied to Penn, Colorado, Cornell, Purdue, Georgia, Florida, Ohio, Texas, Minnesota, Wisconsin. Good luck everyone! I wish there was some kind of status bar so I know what the heck is going on on the other end of things
Illinois has electronic!Does anyone know if most schools use electronic records now? I feel like this isn't emphasized much, but this will definitely affect how much time we spend in the hospital as interns. I heard from someone who completed their internship 2 years ago that Penn still used written records. Has this changed?
CSU uses Stringsoft too which is just all kinds of wonderful... /sI'm just creeping in this thread, but Tufts uses electronic records -- specifically, Stringsoft.
Yeah. When I heard from a friend that you guys were transferring over from your old software, I gave my condolences.CSU uses Stringsoft too which is just all kinds of wonderful... /s
I am also applying for small animal rotating. Where did you apply? Have you been offered any interviews?I'm applying for small animal rotating internships this go around. just waiting on one LOR and will be submitting my application shortly.

For anonymity's sake I'm not going to list where im applying publically, but my list is all private practice, I've been offered two interviews thus far.I am also applying for small animal rotating. Where did you apply? Have you been offered any interviews?
For internships or residency??Also, heads up for those of you who've had more of the 45m-1h types of interviews - some of these places are then scheduling secondary interviews lasting anywhere from 3-8h...
@vetmedheadAnyone applying to shelter medicine internships or have gone through a shelter medicine internship? Have my interviews scheduled already and I’m getting nervous.
Never hurts to touchbase with a program you are interested in.I’ve had some interviews already, but there’s 3 hospitals that said that they would contact to schedule after the application closed and I haven’t heard anything yet... not sure how to feel about this?
and I guess this means I should take them down to the bottom my rank list if they didn’t interview me specifically?
Sorry, should have specified! This is for lab animal residency positions.For internships or residency??
I have been summoned!
Hi, I'm applying to shelter med internships this year too!Anyone applying to shelter medicine internships or have gone through a shelter medicine internship? Have my interviews scheduled already and I’m getting nervous.
Was I that friend?Yeah. When I heard from a friend that you guys were transferring over from your old software, I gave my condolences.
At least I know what not to buy if I'm ever in a position to make those decisions in the future
Yikes. Also hi Noah!Also, heads up for those of you who've had more of the 45m-1h types of interviews - some of these places are then scheduling secondary interviews lasting anywhere from 3-8h...
I've interviewed with a few private practices, but I'm waiting to hear from CSU, OSU, and TAMU. It's only been a little over a week, and the institution rank deadline isn't until Feb 19.I’ve had some interviews already, but there’s 3 hospitals that said that they would contact to schedule after the application closed and I haven’t heard anything yet... not sure how to feel about this?

I know right?! Where have they all been hiding?Lots o lab animal peeps this year coming outta the woodwork! It's fascinating to follow the shifts through the years.
Not to get too corny, but I'm actually incredibly excited to see so many people interested in laboratory animal medicine! I've been involved in the field for over 10 years (it's why I went back to school to begin with), and seeing new vets full of energy and optimism for LAM is reassuring.I know right?! Where have they all been hiding?
Did you hear for a Small Animal Rotating or is this lab animal?Heard from Wake Forest, Rutgers, Columbia, and University of Minnesota the past few days!
Lab animal sorry for not clarifying!Did you hear for a Small Animal Rotating or is this lab animal?
Well I just accidentally closed my rank without selecting any positions!! Haha I guess there’s one less Lab animal candidate this year.
