Have all the programs sent their contracts to the applicants? mine still hasn't and I haven't heard from the PC. I emailed her twice and called their office but there was only voicemail. I'm clueless as to what to do next or how to plan the next month and my tourist visa is only until next week.

I have been having the same problem as you. I have emailed and called but simply couldnt get through to my PC but managed to speak to someone in her office. She said they would be mailing the contracts next week, so I guess some programs take longer than others.

Call her again? Email again? Forgot? On medical leave? Vacation? Is it lost in the mail? The PD might be at a conference and not there to sign contracts. They could be having a site visit right now.

I'd rather my new interns call too much than not enough.

Have you called or emailed the program director? Have you tried other phone numbers in the department?

Yes, tried the other phone lines but to no avail. Im quite apprehensive in calling/emailing the PD since he is the PD and he must be busy doing other clinical stuff. He sent me a congratulatory email the day after the match though. I get frustrated every morning when I check my mail and there's still no reply so I told myself I'll stop checking constantly.

Call the PD - why are you frustrating yourself? Call the PD. He might know what's going on.
