Congratulations!
You’ve accepted an interview with us, and we can’t wait to meet you! What’s next?
We are so pleased that you’ve accepted our invitation for an interview with the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Residency Program at Washington University/Barnes-Jewish Hospital! We’re thrilled to connect with you through the virtual interview experience and learn about YOU – your unique experiences, your passions, your values, and your hopes for your future (and how we might be a part of that future!).
Here on the Interview Day Hub, you’ll find resources that will help you prepare for your interview and will serve as a resource to you throughout the interview season. Please review these resources prior to your interview day, and feel free to reach out to us at any time should you have any questions.
Also, since you are unable to travel to St. Louis to see, first-hand, what our amazing city has to offer, we have sent a little bit of St. Louis to you in the form of a swag-bag. You will receive your package the week before your interview. No need to wait to see what’s inside, go ahead and open it!
