UMMS Off-Campus Interview Program

Much of medical education today takes place in a community setting.  In response to this, for those applicants who may  be granted an interview, we are now offering the option of conducting one of two interviews at a community-based educational affiliate.  These off-campus sites provide essential educational support to UMass Medical School and serve major teaching roles for both the undergraduate and residency programs.  Transportation is provided to those sites that are not within walking distance from the main campus.  The off campus interview process ends at approximately 4:00 p.m. Please make your travel plans accordingly.  For further information please contact Brenda Fusaro at Brenda.Fusaro@umassmed.edu .
