Admissions is now accepting applications for new members to the Committee on Admissions for the Seattle cohort. This is an opportunity to interview prospective medical school applicants and help shape the future of medicine.

Our committee does holistic review and three-person virtual panel interviews. Executive committee members – experienced committee members – screen, lead the panel interviews, and meet to make final decisions. New members participate as interviewers and their impressions of applicants are taken into consideration during the final decisions.

In Admissions, our goal is to select a regionally representative and inclusive student body that will go on to for an increasingly diverse public. We encourage faculty from all backgrounds, especially those who are first gen and/or underrepresented in medicine, to participate if you feel you have capacity.

Members are expected to prepare for and conduct approximately 20 interviews (6 or 7 half days) during specific weeks from October to February. This is a significant time commitment, but members regard participation on this committee as a rewarding and enjoyable experience. If you are interested in joining the committee, please email the Admissions Team at mdintrvw@uw.edu no later than June 30 and we will give you more information.
