HOST Program

The Office of Alumni and Community Relations has created a HOST Program (Housing our Medical Students as they Travel) for the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences. The program matches SMHS medical school alumni across the country with 4th year medical students traveling for residency interviews in late fall/winter. This program aims first and foremost to save med students lodging costs and to put them in touch with alums may be just a year or two ahead of them in the residency program.

Alumni volunteers can participate in this program in a number of ways: by opening their homes to a student (and possible spouse) for an overnight stay of one to two days and/or agreeing to speak with students who have questions about the residency program or the community where they are interviewing. Although not required, meals, transportation and tours may also be offered by the hosting alumni.

If you are a student looking for lodging during residency interviews, please complete the Student Registration Form at least 14 business days before your scheduled interview.
