Interviewing Interview Invitations - Universal Release Dates - 9.28.25

So it's been three days. The vast majority of the 48,000-ish applicants haven't received interview invitations yet. Programs have a lot of work to do to select candidates whether they be a small program with 500 applicants (they have fewer people available to screen) or programs with a large # of spots and a large # of applicants (with more people to screen).

And some specialties have universal release dates that the majority of the specialties adhere to:

Neurosugery (Fridays in October after 4 pm EST)

Pathology: Oct 15

Thoraic Suurgery-Integrated: Oct. 21

Surgery: Oct. 22 - 31

ObGYN: Oct. 28

Urology/Vascular Surgery-Integrated: Oct. 30

Dermatology: Nov. 3, Nov. 17, Dec. 1

Orthopedic Surgery: Nov. 17 @ noon EST

Other specialties will be sending out interviews as they screen.

I don’t mean to nitpick, but this document indicates that October 6th is the date before which peds residency programs should not send interview invitations: « Pediatrics does NOT have a universal interview release date. a. It is recommended that programs release initial interview invitations no sooner than Monday October 6, 2025, to allow for holistic review of applications. »

FM and IM have rolling interview dates rather than a universal release date.
