Our program leadership is committed to maintaining an equitable interview process to match a physician workforce able to meet the needs of our community, Chicago’s South Side.

Our program’s and our applicant’s experiences with virtual interviewing over the last two years have been uniformly positive! We think you will truly enjoy your virtual interview day at the University of Chicago. Our Intern Selection Committee will continue to make thoughtful and holistic reviews of all US medical graduate applicants a top priority, taking into account pandemic-necessitated changes to medical school curricula. We will focus on applicant characteristics that predict success within our program, and will continue to exclude standardized test scores (Step 1, Step 2) in our review process.

We are unwavering in our commitment, affirmed by our mission statement, to find diverse and talented residents seeking to treat medically and socially complex patients with dignity and compassion through a broad range of longitudinal clinical, educational and research opportunities.
