Interviews

Interviews will take place February 1, 2027 – May 28, 2027.

CGSO Fellowship Programs may elect to hold either virtual or in person interviews. There should be one declared approach at each institution, either virtual or in-person, and no hybrid combination of both approaches. Programs may make exceptions to accommodate candidates with extenuating circumstances. However, these expectations should not result in a hybrid interview format, with virtual and in-person interviews occurring on the same day.  

The SSO supports each program’s autonomy to select the interview format that best meets the needs of both the program and its fellowship candidates.
