After interviews are completed, the admissions committee reviews the applicants and sends an offer letter and the resident handbook to the best candidates. For the 2025 cohort, we will be accepting up to 2 candidates. The desired candidate is asked to respond to the offer within one week. If the candidate is accepting the offer, a signed copy of the offer letter with an attestation of having reviewed the residency handbook is required.
