A new Match season is officially underway, and potential new resident physicians will be welcomed on their visit to Oxford, MS, in a few short weeks. The program received over 2,600 applications on the first day that residency personnel were able to view the submissions on Wednesday, Sept. 27. Faculty recruitment committee members are reviewing the candidates’ packets, and interview offers will begin being made in waves over the following weeks. 

The next group of 12 interns will begin their training in the summer of 2024. Once again, the program will conduct in-person interviews during the recruitment period. Applicants will be able to experience all that the town, hospital, and surrounding areas have to offer during these visits, which are scheduled for the following dates: 

On the evening before these dates, a group of resident physicians will host a social event to get to know their potential co-residents in a casual setting. On interview days, the prospective resident physicians will spend the day in the hospital and in the Baptist Medical Group – Oxford Internal Medicine Clinic learning about day-to-day flow, curriculum, attending didactics, and interviewing with program faculty and leadership. After a welcome breakfast and Town Hall session, they will break into groups to progress through their schedule that rotates between interviews, hospital and clinic tours, and resident physician roundtables. The goal for a typical interview day will be to bring in 20 candidates across each of the six dates above. 

Any physicians on the general medical staff who are available are welcome to attend the informal meet and greets from 8:00 – 8:30 a.m. on each of the interview dates. We encourage you to mark your calendars and find time to meet them.  

After the visit and interview days conclude, programs and applicants will submit their rank order lists to the National Residency Match Program (NRMP) by February 28, 2024. Match Week begins Monday, March 11, culminating in Match Day on Friday, March 15.
