Applying to the VEI Residency Program

Virtual Interviewing

We transitioned to the virtual interviews starting for the 2021-2022 academic year. We recognize that candidates want to present their best and any type of recording during this process may add undue stress to the process. We would like to agree that neither party (program or candidate) record nor distribute any part of any interview conducted on a virtual platform (e.g., Zoom, Microsoft Teams, WebEx, Skype, etc.) This includes screenshots, still photos, audio recording, and video recording. Please direct any questions to Dr. Jennifer Lindsey, Director of Resident Education, jennifer.lindsey@vumc.org or Silvia Clavijo, Program Manager, silvia.m.clavijo@vumc.org.

Virtual residency interviews will be held on October 23-27, 2023. Check sfmatch.org for details.
