We will not interview an International Medical Graduate without ECFMG certification.

US clinical “observerships” are not required, but are helpful.

Program Size and Application/Interview Notification Process

A committee reviews the applications to determine if an interview will be granted. Due to the volume of applications received we will not be able to interview all applicants. Our interview session starts in early November and ends in January. There are no interviews between Christmas and New Year. We conduct all interviews on weekdays; we do not interview on weekends.

If selected for an interview, you will receive an invitation via e-mail to the address you submitted to ERAS.

Application status is never communicated to applicants by phone. We do not provide updates on an application.

Due to our very high number of applicants, we apologize that we will not be able to notify you if you are not selected for an interview.
