Contacts listed on the program's website

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 · page 2 · page 3 · page 4 · page 5) 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.
