CASPR 2023 CRIP & Residency Interview Scheduling

The CRIP (Centralized Residency Interview Program) residency interview event is scheduled for January 12-17, 2023 at the Embassy Suites in Frisco, TX.

CRIP is divided into Section 1 and Section 2.

• Section 1 programs (East) interview January 12-14.
• Section 2 programs (West) interview January 15-17.

Interviews may be scheduled between 8 am and 7 pm each day.  Programs and other organizations may host social events in the evenings.

WHAT’S NEW WITH THE 2023 CRIP EVENT?

• Call back or second interviews must be scheduled AFTER CRIP concludes as programs may not interview before or in conflict with CRIP to be in compliance with CPME requirements.
  • COTH recommends that these second interviews be conducted virtually.
  • Any program requiring second interviews must schedule those appointments with the applicants themselves.
    • The scheduling software in the NMS CASPR system CAN be used to schedule call back interviews with applicants.

Do Programs Have to Participate in CRIP?

No. Participating in CRIP interviews is optional though most podiatric residency programs do attend and interview at CRIP–more than 70%. However, if a program is not attending CRIP, it must schedule its residency interviews after CRIP ends on January 17 in order to be in compliance with CPME requirements for residency interviews.

Do Programs Have to Interview In-Person?

No. It is the program’s option to interview in-person, at CRIP or another location, or in-person.

COTH does recommend that a program be consistent and do ALL its initial interviews either in-person or virtually, if at all possible. COTH further recommends that all second or callback interviews be virtual.
