In hopes of creating a fair and equitable application process for everyone, we will continue to offer only virtual interviews to both local and non-local applicants.
We receive over 1,000 applications each year for 17-18 categorical positions. We interview approximately 200 qualified applicants each year. We take a holistic approach to review all applications that emphasize applicants with a wide range of interests and diverse backgrounds. We are looking for a diverse group of residents to join our residency family that learns and succeeds best in a fast-paced, high-volume, medium-size program that wants to be leaders in the field of pediatrics. We seek residents who value anti-racism, integrity, humility, communication, equity, innovation, excellence, advocacy, collaboration, inclusion, adaptability, and diversity. Successful residents in our program thrive by being part of a team that works closely together and supports each other in and outside of work.
We will hold interviews on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Interviews will start in mid-October and end in December. Interview days will include a choice for a morning session (8:00 - 11:00 am PST) or an afternoon session (1:00 - 4:30 pm PST). We are excited to host resident socials weekly throughout the season in the evenings for all interviewees!

Interview days will consist of an overview of our program, 3 interviews (Program Director or Associate Program Director, 1 faculty member, and 1 chief resident), and Q&A with our current residents.
We embrace the importance of having specific interview days for our applicants who self-identify as underrepresented in medicine and allies. At the end of the diversity interview days, there will be an opportunity to virtually meet our diverse faculty and residents in a small group setting.
