The University of Kansas Medical Center Department of Neurosurgery held in-person resident applicant interviews for the 2023-2024 interview season (for matched applicants who would start July 1, 2024). We anticipate we will hold in-person interviews again for the 2024-2025 interview season (for matched applicants starting July 1, 2025).
