About the Host Program
Are you preparing for residency interviews? The UVA Medical Alumni Association Host Program can help you make virtual connections with alumni in the cities you may call home next summer.
We have recruited over 200 alumni to answer your questions about residency, life in their community and more. In addition to making connections based on location, we’re also offering the opportunity to connect with alumni by training program. This will allow you to get a feeling for the people and culture of the program from a trusted source.
Connections between students and alumni will be done through phone calls, email, text messages or Zoom.
