Did anyone here apply to IHS residencies?

I heard back from the RPDs at the Cherokee and Santa Fe sites. They both ended up choosing IP candidates.

Thanks! Should I hold out hope that they might have not matched with an IP candidate? Or is their silence pretty much a bad sign? Ugh... this process is so stressful!

It's hard to say, honestly. I applied to two other sites that I haven't heard back from yet, so maybe there weren't any IP applicants who chose to attend their site and so they're still in the process of reviewing applications?

I just got an email this morning that says which programs were filled by IP candidates and which programs are still open. HR is still clearing applications, so there's still a chance. Positive vibes to everyone!

I had my interview with them I think it went well. I just got an email with the sites that haven't been IP selected.

I'm glad your interview went well. Was the interview with Ft. Defiance? From the email, it looked like they weren't offering a residency position this year.

Has anyone gotten an interview offer since for the sites that are still open?

Nope, nothing yet

Got a no from ABQ as well. Only options for me now are Anchorage and Warm Springs.

Congratulations, good luck. How was your other interview? Any curveballs during the interview?

@Hedgehog32 Have you heard back from Lawton or Yakima? I applied there as well.

xxjasminexx I haven't heard back from either. Have you? I wonder if they've already interviewed and chosen who they want

I got 2 interviews for Alaska programs. And heard they’ve received a ton of applicants per position

 

[PharmaSea18]

@Pharmever Shoot. I haven't heard back from the Alaska program I applied to, which can't be a good sign. Did you already get your clearance from HR? I'm holding out hope that maybe my last program is waiting for HR to finish processing my USAjobs application before contacting me. However, given how competitive this season has been, I'm not very optimistic that I'll be getting an interview at this point.

My friend got an interview offer from Yakima but I haven't heard of anything else.

Well, I'll take that as a sign that I won't be receiving an invitation to interview at Yakima.

I don't think I got an official clearance email from HR but Dr. Holly Van Lew reached out via email to clarify somethings on my USAjobs app and I responded to her email. So, I'm not sure? Which program did you apply to in Alaska? I know ANTHC matched IP.

@Pharmever I applied to Southcentral Foundation. Did you already have your interview? And if so, how did it go?

I did. As always, I never feel like I do well with interviews haha Have you heard back from them yet?

 

[PharmaSea18]

@Pharmever Nope. No word.

 

[Pharmever]

Have you interviewed with Southcentral in Anchorage? I'm wondering how many people they interviewed for the one spot...

I interviewed at Southcentral. It was my only interview. They didn't say.

Just curious if anyone here also applied for ASHP match programs?

I did. But waiting to hear from IHS programs before I submit my ranking for ASHP.

Have you heard back if you matched with Southcentral?

 

[Pharmever]

Has anyone heard if they matched with an IHS site? I heard they had their RPD meeting yesterday and was wondering if calls are being made yet. Wishing everyone the best of luck! 🙂

 

[Pharmever]

I ended up getting a call on Friday and matched with my number one choice! Hope everyone else had similar news! Best of luck to everyone in the future!
