Aloha. Just submitted my apps yesterday. Figured I’d get this years iteration of the interviews thread started.
Good luck everyone. I hope you find the right program for you and your future practice.

Thank you for starting this thread! I’m applying to hpm this year as well!
Good luck to everyone applying!
 
I'll start the list for programs who have sent out interview invites. Please copy the list below, then paste into a new post and add to it; so we can all see which programs have sent invitations.

Message me directly if you wish to remain anonymous.

Thanks!

I just got an ERAS message from Temple that says:

"Hello,

Please be sure all sections of your application are complete and ready for review."

This freaked me out so I double checked if anything was missing but couldn't find any missing parts of my application, and I've gotten an interview offer somewhere else. Did anyone get this message? It's very generic and strange

Thanks!

Anyone know if interviews come in multiple batches? Ie, if we did not get an interview invite from a place posted already, should we be sending e-mails expressing our interest or should we give it more time in case we get a later invite?

I got an invite to MUSC today 8/4 and it looks like someone else got theirs on 7/29 so maybe they come in batches

From what other posts have said, it seems the same as what would be considered top tier for IM. Wisconsin’s PD is the author for fast facts though, so that might move it up as well.
 
Added UPMC (8/3) and Northwell (8/5)

It seems like either a lot of programs are taking their time sending interviews out compared to other years (aside from last year), or I've missed the boat on a lot of programs. Anyone else?

Yeah I agree it feels like programs are slower this year about sending out interviews (or I am just not getting them). Has any one heard from Indiana?
 
Joined just to contribute, thank you for setting this up!

Also agree with earlier posts, it does feel slow this year.
JHU did send an "interview invite" and in their message said they are finalizing virtual interview details still, and that another email will go out soon. I wonder if this is something other programs are also working on and the cause of the delays.

What programs are considered top programs for HPM fellowship?
There is no universal best HPM fellowship.

While the typical brand names (MGH, Mayo, UCSF, Stanford, etc) tend to be strong... there are leaders in the field, both thought-leaders and political leaders, at institutions that might not otherwise be considered classical "big name" institutions.

Just a few for example:
Christian Sinclair at U Kansas
Mellar Davis at Geisinger
Tammy Quest at Emory

The top program for you is a place where you mesh with the faculty, like the curriculum, enjoy the location, and has ties to where you want to go.

Does anyone know what the actual interviews are like? I have my first next week and am trying to prepare.
I'm the only one applying to HPM in my program and no one applied the years above me so I don't have many people to ask about it.
Thanks!

Like most interviews for med school and residency I would expect it to be a relatively unique experience but to have e some variation on the same questions

I got asked “why palliative” in about 8 different ways

some behavioral questions “tell me about a time when…
…you were stressed and how you managed it
…you disagreed with a supervising physician
….you didn’t get along with a colleague
…a bad clinical outcome happened and how you dealt with it hit
…you failed
…you had a very satisfying patient encounter and why”

“Tell me about you!”
“What’s your greatest accomplishment”
“Why xyz program?” (Subtext: worship me!)

and of course a certain amount of shooting the breeze, “what questions do you have?” Etc

I found all the people I interviewed with generally pleasant and kind. The virtual format feels surprisingly like the regular interview but less uncomfortable because it’s from my room, no travel, no hotel, no flight, but less free food.
