Next Steps

In mid-February, the Resident Selection Committee reviews interviewed applicants and determines the final rank order list for our program. Reviews are based upon medical school performance and/or residency experience along with personal qualities. Written comments supplement the applicant's ranking.

All applicants are carefully considered without regard to age, sex, race, color, creed, sexual orientation, and national or ethnic origin.
