Internal Medicine Residencies. Rolling Admission?

[brc1123]

Hi everyone,

As I'm starting to get interviews I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the Internal Medicine residency admissions process. It seems that most programs provide interview dates from October to January. Is there any benefit to scheduling an interview earlier rather than later? I know some medical schools did rolling admissions but I assumed it would be different for a match process. I was also told by my advisor that the date of the interview doesn't matter but I'm not sure if I believe him.

Thanks

It doesn't matter.

Although depending on number of interviews, you may be tired by the end of interview season. You should prioritize your comfort, preparedness for interviews, and maximizing the number of interviews.

One of the key benefits of a match is that it doesn't matter where your interview falls.
