Candidate Interview Options
We understand that you may have a preference for how you would like to conduct your interview. You can choose between an in-person experience or a virtual one. Please rest assured that your interview format preference will not affect your candidacy. All candidates are evaluated holistically.
Option 1 | In-Person Interview
(In-person Interview Day & Hotel Accommodations)
We invite you to experience a day on the KSUCPM campus with our in-person interview option. Your visit will include a comprehensive tour led by our student ambassadors and an engaging interview with a faculty member and a member of our Office of Admissions. In addition, you'll participate in a hands-on workshop, clinic shadowing, or class observation. Enjoy a complimentary lunch and the chance to meet with a Dean or Division Head to gain deeper insights into our programs and community.
To make your visit as seamless as possible, KSUCPM has partnered with Holiday Inn Cleveland Rockside to offer a complimentary one-night hotel stay for students interviewing in person. Click here to learn more about this offer and to book your room.

Option 2 | Virtual Interview
(Video Conference Interview & Virtual Student Panel)
Applicants who choose to interview virtually will do so via Microsoft Teams, accessible with a Google or Gmail account. Once you confirm your interview time, we will provide you with detailed instructions on using Microsoft Teams. Your interview will include a session with a member of our Enrollment Management Team and a faculty member. Specific information about your interviewers will be shared within 24 hours of your chosen time slot.
Additionally, virtual interviewees will have the opportunity to participate in a virtual student panel. You can select a date and time that suits you best for this discussion. The panel provides a valuable chance to connect with current students and gain insight into the vibrant life and opportunities at KSUCPM. This is one of the highlights of our virtual interview process and a great way to learn more about our community!
We highly encourage candidates who choose a virtual interview to plan a campus visit at some point. We want you to make an informed decision, and experiencing our campus firsthand will give you a deeper understanding of why we enthusiastically endorse Cleveland. You'll discover the benefits of the city's affordable cost of living, its vibrant atmosphere, and the exceptional opportunities for core clinical experiences within a thriving medical community.
