Thanks for your interest in the BCM OB/GYN Residency Program. Applicants will be contacted via Interview Broker if selected for an interview. Interview dates and times are granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Approximately 25 applicants are scheduled to interview per day during our half-day sessions. Interview dates fill quickly, so please apply early. All interviews will be virtual. 

The following is information about interview season communication. Communication around your interest in interviewing with our program (via personal email or through faculty mentors) outside of the new secondary application (aka 'signal') will be reviewed, time permitting. Please DO NOT send multiple emails.  

After interviewing, if you would like to send a thank you to your interviewers, you are welcome to do so via email or handwritten letter. Post-interview communication will be reviewed, time permitting.

Second look opportunity information is pending. We do not permit on-campus tours. We will NOT proactively reach out to you concerning our rank list and, time permitting, will respond to post-interview communication that you initiated.
