LSU Pediatric Residency Interviews
The interview experience is an integral part of our application process, designed

first-hand. We will organize your virtual visit in a way that allows you to spend
time with a mixture of our residents and our faculty.
- For the 2025-2026 Recruitment Season, we will be conducting virtual interviews only.
- Applications will be accepted via ERAS and viewed beginning on September 24th.
- Virtual interviews will begin in late October and will extend through early February.
Virtual Interview Experience - What to Expect
Pre-Interview Virtual Social
All applicants are invited to attend a casual social event (via Zoom) on the night prior to the interview day. Hosted by some of our pediatric residents, this will give you a chance to meet and interact with our fun, friendly team. A typical favorite amongst many of our applicants, we hope that this laid-back event gives you a taste of our program!
