TidalHealth submits candidate names for residency training
TidalHealth, a 125-year-old health system based in Salisbury, Md., was recently accredited to start its first residency training program in internal medicine.
As a part of this process, TidalHealth began accepting applications from medical students who have already graduated medical school or will by this June. It received more than 2,300 worldwide applications. From those, just 240 qualified candidates were selected for virtual interviews conducted from mid-October 2021 until early February.
The selection committee reviewed each candidate’s overall performance and prepared a certified ranking list that was officially submitted Feb. 24 to the National Resident Matching Program by Dr. Hameem Kawsar, director of the internal medicine residency program at TidalHealth.
The residency candidates will submit their preferred choices to NRMP, and a computer algorithm will match the candidates with a residency program. NRMP will publish those results Friday, March 18, and that’s when the TidalHealth residency program will know the names of its 10 inaugural candidates. The matched candidates will begin their three-year training in internal medicine with TidalHealth physicians in July.
TidalHealth, which includes TidalHealth Peninsula Regional, TidalHealth Nanticoke, TidalHealth McCready Pavilion, and an expansive physician network with more than 30 locations, 250 plus providers in nearly 25 different specialties, has joined forces to offer the best in patient-centered care.
