Open Houses and Interviews
Semi-finalists for internship positions will be selected in mid-December and will be invited to attend one of several open houses during the month of January. This year, open house dates have been scheduled for January 9 and 12, 2009. Candidates will be notified of their status by email on or before December 15, 2008 and invited to select an open house date. These open houses, scheduled from 8:30 a.m. until about 3:00 p.m. , include an opportunity to meet with the Director of Training and most of the training staff. A luncheon with the current interns is provided. During the day, each candidate will have an opportunity to participate in a personal interview with one or more members of the Training Committee. .

In making a decision as important as planning the internship year, candidates often find it very helpful to visit prospective internship sites. While we encourage invited candidates to attend an open house, we recognize that not everyone will be able to do so as a result of scheduling conflicts and/or financial considerations. Thus, semi-finalists who are unable to visit will be invited to participate in a telephone interview with one or more professional staff members and a current intern.
