Med/Ped Residency Application and Interview Process

Application Process

The Med/Peds program only accepts applications through ERAS. The annual deadline to submit an application is November 301, 2023. If the applicant is unable to meet this deadline, the residency program director must be contacted. All interview invitations and interview day virtual links will come from Thalamus. 

All interviews for the 2023-2024 interview cycle will take place virtually. Virtual interviews will be conducted on Wednesday mornings and afternoons from late October through December. Our interview day will provide applicants with the opportunity to speak with residents, faculty, our administrative team, and leadership from the Departments of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics.

A great way to gain insight ahead of time into our program is through our social media account - follow us on Instagram!
