Interview invitations are offered on a rolling basis during the application process. Interview dates offered to those selected applicants are scheduled on a first come, first served basis. The interview day will consist of virtual visit with Grand Rounds, a program overview, interviews, a tour, and multiple opportunities to meet with faculty and current fellows in the program. Interviews will be conducted between late August and October.
Note to Prospective Applicants about USCD's COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate:
UC San Diego and San Diego County Health policies mandate that all healthcare workers be up to date with their COVID-19 vaccinations or have an exemption for medical or religious reasons (subject to review and approval). In addition, UCSD's major affiliates have similar expectations. Those health care workers who are out of compliance may not participate in direct patient care.
Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine is a rewarding and exciting subspecialty. Thank you for your interest in our program, and we wish you nothing but the utmost success in your endeavors!
