Applications and Interviews 2023-2024
Our program is committed to a holistic review of applications. The first round of invitations have been sent out for this year. Interviews for the upcoming season will be entirely virtual in concordance with the recommendations of various organizations including the AAMC. During the interview day, applicants will have the opportunity to talk to current residents and attend an educational conference. Additional information sessions will be held in January and will be entirely optional and anonymous. Details for these additional sessions will be posted in November.
Post-Interview Communication
In the spirit of participating in a fair match process, and to limit the amount of pressure our applicants face during these stressful times, our program will not send individualized messages to applicants and do not expect communication from them after the interview process is complete. Of course, we will gladly answer any clarifying questions or provide additional information to applicants. Any questions or comments sent to us after the completion of the interview will not be used to influence our rank list.
