Post Interview Communication Policy

• We will respect the integrity, confidentiality, and autonomy of applicants in the interview and ranking process.
• We will be precise and honest in our communications with applicants. We will not use misleading language.
• We will not make any statements about an applicant’s likelihood to match in our programs. Specifically, we will not use terms such as "ranked to match". We will not reach out to selected applicants with coded language implying their rank position or that their reply back to the program will be expected.
• Our Post-interview communications from any program representative will be limited to applicant request-driven requests and responses. Factual information (e.g., program updates) will be sent to all applicants. Any program initiated informational outreach that is done by faculty or fellows will be available to all applicants. Program representatives (or anyone perceived to represent the program) will not make unsolicited phone calls, send unsolicited e-mails, or engage in other forms of unsolicited individualized communication to applicants.
• Any post-interview events will be open to all applicants or all applicants within a specific group (i.e., a diversity event or physician scientist event). It should be clear that participation in such events is voluntary and that attendance will not be taken.

Applicant Post-Interview Communications

• Applicants are welcome to e-mail the program residents, fellows, faculty or leadership with any questions about the program and can expect an individual response, but these responses cannot indicate or hint at an applicant’s likelihood to match in the program.
• Applicants are not obliged to reply to any communications from our programs, and a lack of response will not impact their status, as post-interview communication has no impact on rank decisions.
• Thank you notes or e-mails from interviewed applicants are acceptable, but such communications will not routinely receive a reply.
