Another New Program: Nazareth in Philadelphia

There is another new EM Residency Program already accredited for the 2020 Match.  In most cases, now is too late in the cycle to apply to more EM programs and expect them to take your application seriously, but a new program is going to be different.

From their Program Director, Kanika Gupta:

Nazareth Hospital is a new ACGME accredited program located in northeast Philadelphia. We are a three year program looking for both PGY 1 and 2 residents to start July 2020.  Please spread the word! Thanks!

The Unified Program Release Date

In an effort to add some additional standardization to the interview scheduling process a group of EM Residency Programs has agreed to use a common interview release date.  Only a subset of programs are able to wait until this date to offer interviews.  Hopefully this can give some reassurance to anyone who is already worried they have not received enough interview offers. 

Here are the details sent out by Dr. Jennie Buchanon, APD at Denver Health:

The County Program of Community Practice is proceeding with the unified interview release date again this year.

• Unified Release Date October 15th invites out at 12pm Eastern Standard Time
• October 16th 12pm Eastern Standard Time Interview Broker Opens for scheduling
