MSTP Interviews

Each year, approximately 60 applicants will be invited to interview between October and January. All interviews will be conducted virtually via Zoom.

The virtual interview process will consist of:

  • DukeMed Welcome: Sunday evening, candidates join for a welcome and introduction by DukeMed leadership and students, campus tour, and breakout rooms to connect with members of the DukeMed community.
  • Multiple Mini Interview (MMI): Thursday, MSTP candidates will participate in a series of interviews, rotating through interview rooms. 
  • MSTP Student Connect: Thursday evening, a casual hangout with current MSTP students to learn more about the program in an informal setting.
  • MSTP Admissions Panel and Faculty Interviews: Friday, candidates will interview with the MSTP admissions panel and several individual faculty members whom the candidate has indicated research interest. Midday, candidates will also attend the Friday Seminar.

Faculty Interview Preferences

In addition to the Friday admissions panel interview, each applicant will meet with approximately four faculty members whose research aligns with their interests. To assist with this process, applicants are asked for 20 faculty members they would like to meet. Information about faculty research interests can be found on the Scholars at Duke site.
