I’m planning on applying this year but none of my letters are in yet. Can expect a couple after Christmas and the rest hopefully in the first week or so of January. I haven’t been able to find info on when applications should ideally be submitted, but I’m curious if anyone has an idea.

 

[evooo8]

I would imagine the earlier the better. So far I haven‘t had any HPB interview invites. Only 2 of the HPB programs have my application marked as reviewed.

 

[insertclevernamehere]

Methodist Richardson: 2/13, 3/20, 3/27, 4/10, 4/24

Just Methodist so far? I have 6 programs that show my app has been reviewed. I heard from a recent HPB grad that most interviews came in February

Carolinas has sent out invites as well

So far we have Methodist, Carolinas and Ascension Providence. Nothing else so far?

There aren’t many purely HPB programs taking apps this cycle it seems. I wonder if they are waiting for the app deadline before sending out interviews.

I’ve had 5 programs total mark my application as “reviewed”.

Those are the only ones I know of so far. And yeah only 5 reviewed for me as well.

I didn’t end up applying to MD Anderson cus I didn’t want to take that test

 

[evooo8]

Ascension emailed with dates

 

[theprince911]

Cleveland Clinic has also sent out invites

 

[insertclevernamehere]

Mayo sent out invites. Never heard anything from any of the Canadian programs…

 

[theprince911]

I haven’t heard anything from the Canadian programs either.

How will you all decide how to rank programs? A lot of these seem to have amazing training. I’m finding it difficult to compare the 2 year programs with each other (if location isn’t a factor).

And as far as the HPB heavy Advanced/Complex GI programs, though they are one year, some of them seem to have good one on one time with excellent HPB surgeons so how would you factor those in?

 

[evooo8]

Never heard from Canadian programs. I did hear back from the Latin America program.
