PLEASE NOTE:
THOSE PERSONS APPLYING FOR BOTH AN INTERNSHIP AND RESIDENCY MUST
FULFILL THE REQUIREMENTS FOR BOTH THE INTERNSHIP MATCHING PROGRAM
AND THE RESIDENCY MATCHING PROGRAM. THE RESIDENCY MATCHING PROGRAM
WILL BE COMPLETED FIRST. THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN MATCHED WITH A
RESIDENCY WILL BE ELIMINATED FROM THE INTERNSHIP MATCHING PROGRAM.
THOSE WHO WERE UNSUCCESSFUL IN OBTAINING A RESIDENCY AND WHO ALSO
APPLIED FOR AN INTERNSHIP WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE INTERNSHIP
MATCHING PROGRAM.
Applying as a
Couple:
The VIRMP provides an option
for couples to be matched together. Please contact the VIRMP
Office at 614-358-0417 or mmckee@craiggroup.com for
more information on this process.
Commitment
Process:
One of the most important
aspects of the system is the early commitment which has to be made
by the applicant; that is, the applicant must agree to accept a
position at any of the institutions to which he/she has applied.
When creating an account, the applicant will electronically sign an
agreement to this effect. This agreement must be completed online
no later than January 18, 2008.
Ranking Process
(Candidate):
At the same time (January 18,
2008), the candidate will rank the institutions applied to in order
of preference. This is a confidential listing will also be completed
online. The candidate is now committed to the program and should
only rank the institutions which he/she will accept. For example, if
the candidate chooses only one institution, only one institution is
submitted to the VIRMP office.
Ranking Process
(Institution):
The institution will also rank,
in order of preference, all the candidates it is willing to accept
as interns and residents. The institutional ranking of the
candidates is also a confidential listing, and a commitment is made
to accept any of the candidates if matched.
Starting
Dates:
The AAVC recommends to the
participating institutions that the starting date for residencies be
no earlier than July 15, and that internship programs end no later
than July 5.
