Contacts listed on the program's website

From the program's own website, updated Nov 16, 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 16, 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.
