How will preference signaling and geographic preference be used?
DHREM is participating in preference signaling and geographic preference for the 2024-2025 application cycle but will use received signals in decision-making around interview invitations ONLY.

​
Will there be Second Look events?​
Yes. Applicants are welcome to attend in-person second look events ONLY if they feel that attendance will be helpful to them in deciding about their preferences for residency training. Due to the fact that in-person second look events will occur after DHREM’s finalization of our Rank Order List, visiting for an in-person second look event will have no impact on the applicants position on our already completed Rank Order List. Applicants are welcome to visit during any of above listed in-person second look dates. For each of these dates, there will be an in-person Happy Hour on Tuesday evening (6-8pm), didactic conference (7:30-12:30pm), lunch with residents and faculty (12:30-1:30pm), and a hospital tour (1:30-2:00pm). Applicants are welcome to attend whatever second look events and if they are visiting, they are not required to attend any events. Additional information around in-person second looks and RSVPs will be distributed in December.
​
Post-interview communication
In compliance with NRMP guidelines, DHREM leadership will not contact applicants following interviews. If applicants have questions, they may contact the program, but post-interview communication is not expected. Additionally, DHREM does not send gifts to applicants. As a county safety-net program, we prioritize our finances in the service of our patients.
