The UWSOM Admissions Team is 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. The committee conducts holistic review and three-person panel interviews.

• Members of the Executive Committee – experienced Admissions Committee members – screen, lead the panel interviews and meet to make final decisions.
• New members participate as interviewers; their impressions of applicants are taken into consideration during the final decisions.

The team welcomes all UWSOM faculty (no M.D. needed or required) and encourage those with differing voices and perspectives to join.
Members are expected to prepare for and conduct approximately 20 interviews (6 or 7 half days) during specific weeks from October through February. This is a significant time commitment, but members regard participation on this committee as a rewarding and enjoyable experience. The interviews are held virtually, so committee members do not have to be located in the Seattle area to participate.
If you are interested in joining the Committee, please email the Admissions Team at mdintrvw@uw.edu no later than July 17, and the admissions team will provide more information.
You can learn more about the admission team’s process and expectations for applicants at our website. Please note that people from other states go through a different process for joining the Committee, but all members receive the same training and orientation, and are all part of the larger Committee on Admissions.
