Inteviews:

Interviews are not required, but they are encouraged. The primary reason for an interview is to permit both the internship program and the applicant to assess the degree to which the MWPH internship would be a good fit for an intern. We will hold interviews (by invitation) in January for this purpose. During the interviews, applicants will have an opportunity for a general orientation to the program, as well as personal interviews with internship faculty and current interns. The dates for this year’s interviews will be:

Tuesday January 8, 2008
Tuesday January 15, 2008
Tuesday January 22, 2008

Applications will be reviewed by members of the Internship Selection Committee, and invitations to attend one of the three interview dates will be extended by December 16. Only those applicants for whom the internship appears to be a good fit will be invited to attend an interview.
