Miscellaneous requirements:

Please note that this information is provided as a guideline for you to determine how much your background matches what we are looking for in a resident as well as how likely our program is to meet your needs. We are unable to tell you how likely it is that you will be invited for an interview or your chances of being selected for NRMP ranking. That is dependent on reviewing your ERAS application and comparing you with other applicants.

We conduct interviews between October and February on Monday and Friday. We provide one night’s lodging for out-of-town applicants. If you have any questions, please call us at 901-448-0276 or toll-free 1-800-733-4858. We look forward to meeting you and having the opportunity to tell you more about our program.
