All applications are screened according to selection criteria. Applications are reviewed once the MSPE is uploaded October 1. Applications submitted after initial interview offers will be reviewed as time permits. We received nearly 900 applications in 2016-2017. 200 applicants were offered an opportunity to interview. 150 applicants were interviewed for 15 PGY1 positions.

Applicants are selected to interview who align with the mission of LLUEM and LLUH as an institution.
