Pre-Interview Social
Welcome applicants!
We’re excited that you’re considering the McGovern Medical School at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston for your emergency medicine Residency.
We recognize that virtual interviews are challenging and we’d like to help share some of the strengths of our program in Pre-Interview Socials and Second Look Events where you can meet some of our Faculty & Residents, and learn about what our program has to offer and ask questions. Our session schedule is below. We will share a recording of each session on this page if you’re unable to join.
What to Expect
Tour of Memorial Hermann-TMC – Get an inside look at our home base, a nationally recognized Level 1 Trauma Center and one of the busiest emergency departments in the country. This tour gives you a real feel for where you’ll train, including key areas like the trauma bays, resuscitation rooms, and state-of-the-art simulation centers.
Life Flight Visit – You’ll have the opportunity to visit Memorial Hermann Life Flight, meet the crew, and even sit inside the chopper. This behind-the-scenes look at our renowned air medical transport program showcases the high-acuity training opportunities available here.
Explore UTHealth Houston & McGovern Medical School – We’ll take you around campus, including the medical school and our department’s key spaces, so you can see where you’ll learn, collaborate, and grow throughout your training.
Lunch on Us – After the tours, we’ll treat you to some of Houston’s best eats, usually from OHMYGOGI, a local favorite serving up amazing fusion food. This is a great chance to relax, chat with current residents, and get an inside perspective on the program.
Post-Event Social – The day doesn’t end after lunch! In the evening, some of our residents and faculty invite Second Look attendees out for drinks at one of our favorite local spots. This is where you can get to know our team outside of the hospital, ask the really important questions, and experience the camaraderie that makes our program unique.
