Interview Season Timeline
To all applicants for the 2023-2024 interview season, we will again plan for a fully virtual interview season holding in-person second look visits. We understand that the unique circumstances of your application cycle may cause added stress and anxiety. As such, we promise to be transparent with you during this process and keep you updated here on any developments or changes in our interview timeline as we move towards a virtual recruitment season.
Currently, applications should be submitted by Wednesday, September 27, 2023 the date ERAS opens to residency programs and MSPE’s are released. 2024 ERAS Residency Timeline. We are participating in the EM Unified Interview Release Date, and will not release interview invitations before 6pm EST on Wednesday, October 18, 2023.
Our interview scheduling program will not open until after the Unified Release Date. The list of participating programs can be found here. After this date, interview invitations will be released on a rolling basis given the modified virtual interview season. We expect to hold our first virtual interviews every Monday and Friday starting on Friday, October 27, 2023.
We hope this information give you, the applicant, the greatest flexibility in scheduling and planning. Good luck to all of you on this unique interview season and we are ecstatic to meet you all this year!
Due to virtual interviews this year, our residents have created a tour/life of an EM resident video. We hope this gives you a glimpse into the life of an Emergency Medicine Resident at Washington University.
