The application process for the UCD Network is centralized at the Sacramento Network Office. Applications and interviews for all Network programs are coordinated through the Network Recruitment Coordinator, Audrey Miranda-Tuter. All applications are screened based on merit. The entire application is evaluated so we ask that you submit all supporting documents immediately. The deadline for applications to the ERAS system is December 31st of every year. 

Once you have submitted your application(s), we ask that you use our online schedule in advance option. By using the interview schedule below as a guideline, list your first, second, and third choice for interview dates at each program you've applied to. If selected to interview, every attempt will be made to schedule your interviews in accordance with those dates. Once you have been selected, an e-mail confirmation will be sent to you as soon as possible. If we are unable to schedule during your preferred times, you will be notified. You also have an option to schedule by phone with the Network office. If your schedule changes for any reason, you may resubmit your dates: however, once you have been pre-scheduled or scheduled for interview(s) and received confirmation(s), you must call to request alternate dates. If you have questions regarding your application or scheduling interviews, please call Audrey Miranda-Tuter at (800) 792-9064 or e-mail audrey.miranda-tuter@ucdmc.ucdavis.edu .
