MD | PhD Admissions Interview Day
Congratulations
We look forward to meeting you!
Interview Day
Competitive applicants will be invited to interview with both the MSTP and MD programs via Get to Know Blue — the virtual interview experience at Michigan.
The MSTP interview experience will include opportunities to connect with research faculty and current MSTP students. Interviews are arranged with faculty members according to your area of scientific interest. The MD interview experience will be your opportunity to engage with a diverse group of people from our Medical School community who are very passionate about what they do and the path they have followed.
Our goal is to help us understand the type of person you are, what matters most to you and why you have chosen to become a physician scientist. At the same time, we want you to get to know us so you can figure out if the Michigan MSTP is the place to help you accomplish your goals in med school and beyond.
Schedule at a Glance
All parts of the interview experience — including Michigan Monday Night Live — are required.
The MSTP interview experience will begin with an MD Admissions event called Michigan Monday Night Live (8-9:30 pm ET), an informal, fun opportunity to connect with Admissions staff and learn how to access our virtual interview platform, as well as chat with our medical student Ambassadors and other interviewees.
On Wednesday, you’ll kick off your day with the MSTP Director, Dr. Kathy Collins and Program Manager, Gretchen Aland. After a presentation and Q&A, you'll begin your interviews for the day. You can expect up to six 30-minute MSTP interviews during your virtual visit. You will also have informal opportunities to meet and chat with current MSTP Fellows. The MD Interview Day takes place with MD interviews on Thursday.
At the end of your interview experience, we hope you have a deeper understanding of our amazing program, our innovative research and our special community.
