I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Johns Hopkins Health System (Baltimore, MD) in Jun 2012
Interview
Sent my CV/resume and cover letter to PI. Heard back within a week. Scheduled an interview the following week. All communications were handled by the PI's assistant.. Interviewed in person. Head PI was quite busy in the office, since he was a practicing physician in addition to a researcher. Wait was not too long though!
