Just was wondering exactly what happens after the hospital you matched in sends you their letter on march 24th...what happens next? and how long does it take?
I heard that the actual signing of contracts can be done even by mail..but you need to be there in person for a physical etc...
How soon after Mar 24th are you completely done with everything u need to do till orientation in June??

Am asking this so I can plan a trip back home for the 2 months in between...and if i dont want to get totally murdered by the airlines...i need to book tickets...NOW!!

any help appreciated guys!! cool

June to mid-June.....

Most program would email contracts to you, and other items.

You might have some pre-employment paperwork to complete. I do send what I can via email so people can do things quickly and in their pajama's
