The Child Neurology Society (CNS) once again recommends that Child Neurology residency programs adopt a universal interview offer date of October 5, 2026.
On this date, programs should release their first round of interview offers, limited to the number of available interview spots, and allow applicants at least 72 hours to respond.
Why does this matter?
✅ Supports holistic application review
✅ Reduces stress from unpredictable interview timing
✅ Increases fairness and efficiency in the match process
We are proud to continue this best practice, which has brought meaningful benefits to applicants and programs alike across multiple specialties.
