💬 How This Program Interviews

Where: On campus

Interviews are held on the Omaha and Kearney campuses, and the campus where you interview does not determine where you are placed. The program explicitly does not use rolling admissions — more than 85% of selections are made after all interviews are finished, so a later interview date is not a disadvantage here.

Summarized from University of Nebraska Medical Center’s own admissions and interview pages — verified 2026-07-26. Interview formats and dates change between cycles, so confirm with the program before you make travel plans. See the program’s interview page.
