Post-Interview Communication
UCSF Fresno OBGYN follows the NRMP’s Code of Conduct regarding post-interview communication. We understand it is not always clear on how applicants should proceed after interviews, so we have provided the below information to help during this process.
Additional Questions- Our goal is to have all applicant questions answered during the interview process. If applicants have post-interview questions, we encourage them to reach out to [email protected].
We kindly request that all applicants refrain from mailing Thank You Cards. The intention is appreciated; however, they do not play a part in our rank list selection, and we would prefer that you save the time, paper, and expense.
Program Communication- All applicants we have invited to interview are well qualified applicants that would do well in our program. We do not communicate with applicants post-interview and our silence in no way indicates that we are not interested in you as an applicant.
