Anybody heard from Denver?

have not heard from Denver.

 

[Horchata89]

What programs are people still waiting to hear from? Seems like this week will probably be the last week of interview offers until the cancellations roll in.

 

[CPAPawaken]

The two different sleep programs in two different geographic locations have the same exact program description (99% word-for-word). Which one do you think is plagiarizing? Or was it written by the same person who used to work at both programs? One is copyrighted; the other is not.

1. Sleep Medicine Fellowship | USF Health

2. Sleep Medicine Fellowship | Residents & Fellows | Dartmouth-Hitchcock

 

[Horchata89]

Any word from the California programs other than UC Davis and Stanford?

[Sleepmylifeaway]

[Horchata89]

Any post interview impressions or anyone know if there's other threads that have this information?

 

[CPAPawaken]

Anyone heard from Duke?

 

[Attending1985]

As far as I know no one has heard from Denver are they just not interviewing?

 

[Attending1985]

What is the etiquette for cancelling interviews? I have scheduled my max but I'm still waiting for one or two to come in and will need to cancel if these come in. Don't want to burn any bridges in case I need to reapply next year.

According to the ERAS list of 2020 participating programs, Denver still shows up as participating. Maybe they're just keeping everyone on their toes?

 

[Horchata89]

Has anyone heard from Northwestern?

Yes

IV from UPMC and UCLA

 

[PGY1RESIDENTLOVESMEDICINE]

Any post interview impressions or anyone know if there's other threads that have this information?

I'm curious as well. My first IV is September though. Has UT Southwestern and Cleveland already IV ppl?

I'm thinking the same thing, I'm starting to become confined geographically. I just wrote to programs apologizing that my circumstances don't permit to IV, and to keep my applications in file for the future.

 

[PGY1RESIDENTLOVESMEDICINE]

I got some kind rejections this week. Yale, University of Washington. Kind of a relief to not be waiting!

[PGY1RESIDENTLOVESMEDICINE]

For Temple there are still two slots open in myeras for interviews that are unfilled. Maybe they might send more this week. Good luck!

 

[P1123]

Just to add to the master list, I did receive an interview from Mt. Sinai (New York City) back in mid July- I think one of the first I received.
Also, some programs are interviewing into the 2nd week of October, so there is still definitely a chance to hear from programs.

I have not heard from U Penn, NYU Winthrop or Georgetown

Have you heard back from UCLA after giving your interview date preferences?

 

[Sleepmylifeaway]

Have you heard back from UCLA after giving your interview date preferences?

No

 

[Sleepmylifeaway]

Have you heard back from UCLA after giving your interview date preferences?

Actually got the email not too long ago confirming date

 

[PGY1RESIDENTLOVESMEDICINE]

Does anyone think it's a bad idea to call a program that has not sent an invite yet? It's my #1 choice, and already is on the master list on here...I've gotten IV at high end institutes, and not this!

 

[P1123]

Yes, you should contact them. I did that for one of the programs and ended up getting an interview
you never know if an application has fallen through the cracks!

Interview offers from Oklahoma and UTSW in Dallas today.

 

[PGY1RESIDENTLOVESMEDICINE]

I got an IV! Thanks for the advice.

I'll be declining 3 interviews today just for this MAJOR one! So, hopefully that open interview slot goes to one of ya'll.
Getting nervous, anyone have their first IV yet?

I’ve been to 2, heading to my third tomorrow. For the most part it’s pretty chill the usual interview questions similar to residency about why and tell me about yourself etc. one Program pimped but when speaking to their fellows I think it’s the only program that does. In general I think as long as you’re confident in yourself (but not cocky) you’ll be fine!

Thanks for the info. When you say "pimped" do you mean they asked you Sleep Medicine questions or simply asked you a lot about your resume?

Sleep cases

 

[Horchata89]

Now that interviews are underway, anyone have any feedback or thoughts on how they're going? The few I've been on have been super chill and laid back. Mostly just getting to know you questions and not much in the way of application related question.

I'm a little apprehensive about the interviews that "pimp" about sleep. Any thoughts on how to prepare for those?

 

[Peds86]

I have been to 2 IVs this far, and they all seem pretty chill, just as described by Horchata89.
BTW I received an invitation from USC just last week. They are only having 2 IV days next week. I had to decline it due to short notice.

 

[PGY1RESIDENTLOVESMEDICINE]

Just got University of Mississippi today. I'm already overbooked with days off for interviews...Seems like second round invites are coming through now?

 

[P1123]

Agreed that my interviews have also been very laid back thus far. The most thought-provoking question I was asked was to describe a recent patient case.

Has anyone heard from U Penn?

 

[Sleep2020]

Has anyone heard from Norwalk or St. Vincent’s in Worcester. MA??

Agree Interviews are laid back

Didn’t apply to U Penn... best of luck

At Mayo I got pimped not sure if others did.

 

[PGY1RESIDENTLOVESMEDICINE]

At Mayo I got pimped not sure if others did.

Me too. Many scenario type questions from former program director.

Did anyone hear from Hopkins yet? Also, what did everyone think of the "video" interviewing options...looks like they didn't take the interview as seriously due to being video.

I got kind of a weird vibe overall at Mayo. I’m sure it’s good training but very intense personalities.

 

[CPAPawaken]

I don't know how to rank these programs. If location is not an issue and being single, what things should I consider for ranking?
