Interviews
Applications that are reviewed favorably by the Behavioral Neurology & Neuropsychiatry Fellow Selection Committee will result in an invitation to the applicant to visit the University of Colorado Denver – Schoolof Medicine. During that visit, applicants will be provided with a tour of the facilities and will be interviewed by members of the Behavioral Neurology & Neuropsychiatry Fellow Selection Committee. When possible, applicants will meet some of the facility staff, sit in on a seminar, and meet informally with fellows and/or residents in order to get their views of the program. These activities and interviews can be accomplished in a single, very busy day, but we recommend that the applicant arrange to be here for a day and a half if it would fit with your schedule. Due to the number of applications we receive, we are unable to interview everyone. We suggest you call us (303-724-4998) when you feel your file is complete. The faculty of the Behavioral Neurology & Neuropsychiatry Fellowship Training Program will review your file and will let you know if interviews are to be scheduled.
