Congrats to a few applicants who have already received very early medical school interview invitations. For most, the season will be starting in the next month or so. Virtual interviews through VITA or other platforms will be standard, and how that will affect the admissions process and next year’s medical school classes is anyone’s guess. My guess is that the virtual interview process will reduce discriminatory practices that have plagued the system for a while. See my Doximity article “How Virtual Interviews Might Mitigate Systemic Sexism in Medicine” and please pass it along.
