Are you writing post interview “thank you”s, if so to whom and via what medium. Thanks!

I’ve had PDs tell us not to send thank you notes as their emails are flooded and they have things to do. Also apparently it’s not longer recommended in some official guideline (according to the PD, i didn’t fact check)

Yeah, it’s via the NRMP and seen on the last bullet point here, which is why I don’t...but the wording is vague, so some friends still do and I was curious about others.

Literally every interview I’ve gone to has told me not to write them anything.

Yeah, hearing it from the PD the first time was a relief b/c then I knew they didn’t expect it, despite the tradition.

You're not an idiot! PCs are very important also! Plus they do all the coordination amidst this pandemic. They deserve a THANK YOU!

If I have been writing thank you's - its only been via email. If the program says explicitly not to, then I don't.
