Applications

Interviews are done on Fridays and are conducted from mid-October through the end of January.

1. The Interview: All Tulane interviews are on Fridays from 8:00am to 4:00pm. Applicants are invited to join current residents for an informal dinner on Thursday night. We will be sampling one of our great New Orleans Restaurants, so come hungry! Many applicants also choose to stay Friday and Saturday night in order to see, enjoy and pass a little time in the Big Easy. Odds are, there will be a festival on the weekend you interview (there are 412 festivals in New Orleans per year), so there will be more than enough to do and enjoy if you choose to stay the weekend with us.
2. What to Expect on the Interview Day: Your interview day will begin with a light breakfast and an introduction to the program from a chief resident. You will then receive a brief tour at one of our inpatient hospitals. You'll join us for Psychiatry Grand Rounds at noon followed by our weekly resident lunch. You'll have plenty of time to relax with our residents and ask questions. You will then have one-on-one interviews with a few of our Faculty and Program Director. It is sure to give you a great overview of our program here at Tulane.
