FAQs

What is the
HOST
Program
?
HOST
stands for
H
elp
O
ur
S
tudents
T
ravel.
The program helps alleviate some of the financial burden students face while interviewing for residency by matching them with medical school alumni HOSTs that provide free lodging in the vicinity of their residency interview sites.
What are the responsibilities of an alumni host?
Alumni who volunteer to be a HOST may do one or more of the following:
Provide overnight accommodations for student for one or two evenings.
Meals, transportation, and tours may be offered by the hosting alumni.
Counsel students about the residency program or the community where they are interviewing.
What time of year will the visits take place?
Most residency interviews occur during the months of October through January.
How do I sign up to be a host?
Complete the
HOST
Program Volunteer Interest Form for this current school year (see link above.) The AAO will then contact you to begin the process.
How far in advance will I be contacted?
Students are asked to contact their host as soon as they receive the contact information. Be sure to exchange cell phone/e-mail contact information. It is also a good idea to re-contact your student prior to his/her visit to confirm plans.
What happens if travel or interview plans change or get canceled?
The student you are hosting will contact you as soon as possible to let you know about any change in their travel plans.
