PRE-INTERVIEW DINNER WITH RESIDENTS

Our residents host a casual dinner for interviewees the evening before each scheduled interview day. Dinners will be held at one of two locations in Downtown, Washington, D.C. depending on the date. You will receive more detailed information from our team prior to your scheduled interview.

ACCOMMODATIONS

When considering a hotel, be aware that your interview day starts at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, a location not easily accessible by the Metro. However, we do validate parking at the hospital. If you choose to stay a night and do not have a rental car, we recommend staying in DuPont Circle, Foggy Bottom or Georgetown as taxis tend to be readily accessible from these areas. Some applicants stay in nearby Arlington, Virginia in the Rosslyn or Pentagon area as these hotels can be less expensive. Likewise, some choose to stay in the Bethesda-Chevy Chase, Maryland area as one does not have to cross a Potomac River bridge in the morning to get to the hospital.
