I have not heard either.
VIRMP 2026
Started by zenarcade
The VIRMP listing for this one states "Invitations will be sent to selected applicants following application review"
I just got an interview invite email from Wheat Ridge last night
Someone in my class has talked to them about the med focused rotating - but they had done an externship there and apparently that’s who’s they’re talking to rn. Unsure if this is helpful to you but
Did they get a formal interview invitation or did they just talk to them about it while they were there on externship?
They were invited to come back and interview in person apparently.
It seems like we applied to a lot of the same programs! Would love to connect with you 🙂
I saw that someone's classmate on a reddit thread interviewed with Wheat Ridge yesterday. I haven't heard anything myself
since everyone is asking, did anyone else apply for UF Rotating Emphasis on ECC? I know they aren’t doing interviews but wanna chat with another applicant 🙂
I have heard from Davis, UTK, UGA, TAMU, and CSU. Have not heard from UF or Ohio State

Anyone heard from UC Davis for surgery residency yet?

I haven’t.. have you heard from other places regarding surgery?
What's the latest that we can hear from programs? From stalking previous cycle threads, it seems to be pretty damn late/close to the ranking deadline. I should probably stop hyperfixating but it's hard when I'm seeing other receive emails/calls from programs I also have applied to and I've yet to hear anything from those programs.
For my IM residency folk, I heard from TAMU, Auburn, and Minnesota yesterday/today.
For this, I've heard of some programs still interviewing into the week ranks are due, so I know it is hard to not be anxious, but there is hope yet.
Most places will ask general interview questions such as "what attracts you to our program?", tell us about yourself and your goals, strengths/weaknesses, etc. Mostly, they want to get to know you. Some places do ask case-based questions, but I personally did not encounter this as much. I would be prepared to potentially discuss a difficult case and a conflict with a colleague or client and how you helped to resolve that situation as well.

Surgery peeps, I've also heard from Wisconsin.
Congrats! So it seems like people here have heard from UGA, Penn, TAMU, Purdue, Wisconsin
Ive heard from CSU and UC Davis (did not apply to the others you listed), interviewed for Davis last week and interviewing with CSU this week!
I've heard from those places as well as UF, Cornell, Angell, Penn, AMC, Red Bank, VSH, and Dove Lewis (who filled positions internally and did not offer external interviews).

Small animal rotating people. I heard from BluePeal NYC (had to turn the interview down due to licencing issues) and UF ECC focus. Will keep everyone posted if any others reach out 🤞🏻
Would you mind sharing your thoughts on this comment? There are a couple of academic SA rotating internships that don't provide contracts, but quite a few of them do. You seem to have a strong opinion, so I would love to hear your thoughts if you're willing to share them
An internship should be willing to provide current intern contacts when asked. Current interns will tell you how it is without the fluff and smoke/mirrors. They will tell you if it sucks, if it's great, if they're miserable, etc. Refusing to provide current intern contacts implies that they don't want their interns leveling with applicants about the program.
Doesn't mean the program automatically provides them, but they should give you a few names (at least) when asked. You usually have to actually ask for the contacts in my experience

I heard from Ohio today.
Oh yes fair enough. I actually misread the original message. I thought everyone was talking about providing contRacts rather than contacts. I can definitely see the red flags with not providing contacts of the current interns. Clearly I need to focus a little bit more on my reading comprehension
DoveLewis filled spots internally?

To be fair I did the opposite and read you saying ‘contracts’ as contacts lol

Yes, they sent out an email last week that they are not going forward with any external interviews this year because they have filled the spots internally.

Hello fellow ECC residency applicant. I have heard from NCSU, CSU, TAMU, Ohio, UC davis. I have also heard from Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Washington, Tufts, Redbank, UF, Cornell, PennVet, AVECC, and wisconsin. Hopefully you will hear back soon or it does not hurt to reach out if you have not already!

I have gotten a q&A invite from Tufts a few days ago for Thursday night this week. Unsure if it was for everyone or not!

I did a 4th year rotation at Red Bank and the interns seem genuinely like they are enjoying their internship and learning a lot. They look busy and seem challenged appropriately. Long hours, lots of cases, the general private practice internship bit but without the intern suffering from staff/culture. Seems healthy learning environment. Lots of didactic activities for interns/residents. No one is alone on ER as intern usually. Everyone seems willing to help/teach. Hospital is huge and very fancy/nice.
I just got an interview invite from University of Illinois! They sent their interview invites a while ago so I thought all hope was lost!

Any heard from surgical internships? Red Bank? Oregon? AMC?
Thank you and the other fellow applicant who responded! It is possible that it's out of the window of them reaching out, which is ok. My application is definitely not a traditional one, but I am happy to at least talk to the places that I have secured interviews with. I am also, just in case, applying to ECC internships. Looking forward to becoming colleagues! GOOD LUCK in the Match!
Did any one hear from Tufts, UGA, LSU, Auburn radiology residency programs? And WCVM Imaging Internship? Please confirm.
SA rotating internship applicant here - definitely in the overthinking stage of the match at this point so just need a sounding board.
I got an email from one of the programs I interviewed with indicating that they plan to rank me favorably. What is the best way to respond? Just a vague thank you & I appreciate the consideration?
Also, I have heard from all but one of my programs. This final program states on VIRMP that they interview all applicants. I did extern there in April 2025, so it is possible that they have decided they do not need to interview me as they already have gotten to know me a little. I think I am just stressing slightly given that other programs I externed with still wanted to do a brief interview/at the least catch up. Thoughts?

Once again, rank them how you want them. Don’t overthink it or play into the mind games.
There’s no harm in ranking a place that doesn’t rank you back. And you don’t know if no contact is because they aren’t interested in you or they are so interested they didn’t want to waste their time. So rank them how you like them and let the system do its thing.
The match algorithm essentially goes down YOUR list trying to make matches. The institution’s list is the secondary consideration. So even if that place ranks you as 1 or 2, the system will still try to match you to places you have ranked higher first. If none of the other places you have ranked higher are a match, then you’ll end up at that place. You could put them high on your list because you feel like you have good chances there, but then you might be missing out on a place you liked better/wanted more. Plus you have no way to confirm whether they are telling the truth or just trying to get people to rank them higher to ensure they match with someone and don’t have to scramble. You’ll never know if they were telling the truth or lying since rank lists are confidential.

In my opinion, if the program that is saying they are going to rank you favorably, and you are highly interested in the program, I would thank them and indicate that you intend to do the same. But if this is not a program at the top of your list, I would simply thank them for considering you as an applicant. I wouldn't over think this. I did an out-elective week at a hospital I applied to back in October 2025, and I was still invited to interview. However it was not a real interview, it was us just chatting. So honestly, if you externed there in 2025 and they already know you well, they probably are not interviewing to save everyone time. I would reach out if you have any further questions about the program tho!
