Has anyone heard back from any Managed Care residency programs in California? I know this doesn't apply to the vast majority but haven't seen it really addressed anywhere else.

Thanks!
I heard back from Kaiser-Central Valley on 1/20 for an onsite interview and MedImpact for an onsite interview 1/23. Haven't heard back from USC or Kaiser-Sacramento.
 
Anyone heard back from:
Henry Ford Detroit
St. John Detroit
Beaumont Royal Oak
UofM
VA Ann Arbor?
DMC - Harper

I've heard from Henry Ford Detroit, Beaumont Royal Oak and am still waiting to hear on VA AA and UofM. I've heard a few people who got interviews at UofM otherwise crickets....

Has anyone heard from Aurora Health Care's pgy1&2 Informatics program? I haven't heard a word.

Which raises another question - at what point is it appropriate to check in with programs regarding your application? Is it perceived as ambitious, pushy, annoying? Should I wait until February? What would be an appropriate way to ask for a status update (if it is appropriate)?
 
No word from University of Michigan but I know they have offered interviews to other applicants. Is anyone familiar with UofM interview process?
 
I did a phone interview and then was sent a rejection for an onsite, so that's all I know. They mentioned that they received 108 applications
Same! A bit bummed out by it. I wonder how many students had phone interviews with them. I only saw 10 candidates (including myself) on the email, but there must be more than that.

When did you hear from Henry Ford and Beaumont? Rejection or invite, if you don't mind me asking...?
 
One of my interviews is asking that I present on any topic of my choice for 10 min. I've heard some people say that it's better to pick something non pharmacy related. What is your input on this??

Same here! But I was advised to present a topic that I've already presented before @ a national conference, etc.. so that it's more polished.

Thanks for the update! I'll cross my fingers for us all.

I know St. Anthony said they do pre-screen phone interviews first so it seems like they should have gotten that ball rolling so they have time to decide about onsite interviews. I have a good amount of interviews but the silence of the 3 remaining programs I haven't heard from is killing me.

Who told you that? I have received the opposite. You should do a presentation on which you have feedback on that shows your ability to communicate and think critically. Good luck!
 
I applied to St. Anthony also and have not heard, and I know someone else that applied to St. Joseph and Pre/St. Luke's that haven't heard from those either. Hopefully there are still reviewing.
PSL is known for sending out invites pretty late. I know one of their current residents and she said they are still in the process of reviewing applications. Just a heads up, they are a program that typically doesn't send out rejections.

Sent from my SM-G935V using SDN mobile

Did anyone else get waitlisted at OHSU 1/24 (pgy1)? I'm curious how common that is or how extensive their "list" is
They sent that email to everyone, which I think is pretty ridiculous considering over 150 people applied and they stated before only 8 might be up for a second round. They should have emailed 15 people max about a waitlist and rejected the rest.

I figured as much. I thought it was odd and actually almost took myself off the list. Then I realized that we weren't getting an email. They probably just want to let everyone down easily, but they don't realize a flat out rejection would probably do more good in getting people to focus on other programs.
 
Memorial Hermann (Houston) - Video interview completed
Bayfront St. Petersburg - Interview 2/7
Sarasota Memorial Hospital - Interview 2/10
Massachussetts General Hospital - Interview (either 2/17 or 2/24)

Still waiting to hear from:

-St. Joseph's Hospital (Tampa)

**anyone know if the Detroit programs send out rejections?? I know a few people have already gotten invites...


Does MGH make you prepare anything for their interview? Or give you any insight to what it's going to be like? Thanks!
