Program will do interviews at INS in 2009: yes

Policy regarding on-site interviews: HFHS does not require onsite interviews for our APPCN-approved fellowship program. However, we do offer on-site interviews. First, those that cannot make it to INS can request to have an on-site interview. Second, those that have already interviewed can request to have an additional on-site visit if they wish. If an applicant already interviewed at INS an on-site visit will not include any extensive interviewing and will be used to help the applicant familiarize themselves with the hospital and region.
