Hi guys. Did anyone get an luncheon invitation for Internal Medicine. I got it. But it is not an interview. Although they discuss about interview and match details with candidates. anyone with past experience or information please contribute. thanks in advance.

michael_swash,
they dint ask for any money. how wil they benefit by getting their seats full. the invite is from pd and it is an interaction with faculty, staff n residents and our chance to clear doubts or to ask questions abt match.. still, thanks for d info michael. if anyone in d past has attended luncheon at KUMC, kindly contribute info.

i m not saying that they are asking for money the point is that u ll go there and spend ur bucks and they ll gonna give u information only on their preliminary residency program not about the entire matching process....if u have iv call from there than its beneficial to attend it but if its not than i dont think its worth it to prepare a trip just to listen it and come back anyway its upto u go ahead and enjoy ur meal of 300 or 400 dollar watever.

Michael,
i agree with what u say. but what if they send an interview in the next 3-4 days. i mean there must be a reason for them to throw a luncheon. right. and this letter is from pd. but still thanks for ur insight buddy.
