Parkland Residency Summer 2020

Updated:   Published

Hello everyone!

I created this thread for those who are interested or applying to the residency program at Parkland for the summer 2020. I'm hoping this thread is helpful for those wanting to talk and ask questions. Good luck to everyone!

Good luck to everyone that had an interview today!

What were the interviews for today?

I’m not sure but I assume so because they are making decisions next week... I’m bummed for you ?If someone declines an offer maybe they would reach out to interview more later on, not sure.

Sigh. It’s okay. at this point I’m just gonna have to wait for the next round of residencies. Does anyone know when they open up? Summer?

There is a chance more people could be called for interviews, if they don’t like some of the candidates the called or if some people don’t accept the offer. It isn’t over until the rejection emails are sent out!

I know some hospitals open up in the May, so I’d start looking toward the end of April and check every few days!

A lot of hospitals are suspending all residencies until COVID-19 is over. You may wish to call and ask if Parkland is doing this.

I don’t believe they are suspending anything. I spoke with the recruiter last week and she said that the fellowship and residency begin in July.

Where have you heard this? None of my friends with residencies at MC, Baylor, Methodist, or Parkland have heard anything about suspensions of residencies. Considering the peak is expected around end of April/early May I’m not sure why they’d suspend residencies that start mid to late July.

Does anyone have any contact information for the recruiters?

Has anyone already filled out all of the health information surveys but hasn't heard back about when to do their occupational health appointment? I am sure everything is slowed down due to the current situation, but I just wanted to make sure I am staying on track with pre-employment tasks!
