Selection Process
Applications are reviewed by the selection committee, and applicants are directly invited through the Thalamus platform. All interviews are virtual as per the mandate from ACGME. Interviews will be scheduled through the middle of February.
Applications will be accepted until December 31 of the interview season. We will not give status updates or accept AAMC ID#s from callers.
We review applications for best fit to the program, and take applicant signals under consideration as a component of the holistic review. We do not routinely contact applicants who are not selected for an interview. Interviews are granted on a rolling basis and may be extended at any time during the interview season.
