A look into our application process

As Seen on Reddit:

"Brookdale has the best residents I’ve ever seen. Outside resident rotators and attendings are amazed daily by what the interns and second years can manage. Also insane amounts of pathology that defy textbooks as these patients don’t have primary care for 20+ years despite numerous comorbidities due to poverty and lack of access."

INTERVIEW DAY

First off, do not be nervous! Our Program Administrator, Smitia, will provide a thorough itinerary and interview schedule, alleviating the stress and confusion of the big day. Interviews will again be conducted virtually on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from late October through January. Generally, the interview day consists of a presentation, three faculty interviews, and a resident-run interview. You will also be welcome to ask any additional questions you may have about our program.

POST-INTERVIEWS

We offer second looks to interviewed applicants, beginning upon the conclusion of the final interview day. Applicants can spend 2 - 4 hours in our ED shadowing a PGY - 3 resident (if available) and get a sense of the environment.
