Beginning in October, candidates whose applications are considered competitive will be emailed an invitation to interview. Interviews are conducted from November to January at Rush University Medical Center Department of Neurological Sciences. Although applications are reviewed through December, early submission is strongly advised.

Candidates interested in completing their preliminary year at Rush should submit a separate application to the Internal Medicine Department through ERAS. Click here for more information.
