To support students applying to our residency program and due to recommendations by APPD, Children’s Mercy Pediatric Residency Program will be conducting virtual interviews using Thalamus software. source
Our interviews will virtually take place October through January at a variety of times to account for varying time zones. source

From the program's own website, updated Nov 15, 2026. Staff change, so check the source page before you write, and keep emails short: one clear question, your AAMC ID, and no attachments unless they ask.
Where current residents went to medical school
Counted from the program's own residents page (page 1) on Nov 15, 2026. We count lines that name a country or medical school, not people, and we do not store names, so treat the numbers as approximate and check the page.
The page did not name medical schools in a form we could read.
