Your Interview

Each year, the Department of Internal Medicine is fortunate to interview between 400-450 qualified applicants for a combination of Categorical and Preliminary Medicine positions. These candidates are chosen from an applicant pool of over 7,500.

Applicants are selected from ERAS (Electronic Residency Application System) using selection criteria designated by the House Staff Selection Committee, a 16-member committee of faculty that are charged with selecting, reviewing and ranking the applicants each year to create a successful intern class for the following July.

Interview Dates

Our interview season runs from Late October through Mid January.
