About Thalamus
Our mission is to help the right doctors practice at the right hospitals to treat the right patients. We leverage a passion for technology, medical education, equity, and data-driven research to optimize physician recruitment, starting with the medical residency recruitment process.
Our philosophy is that the opportunity to practice medicine in an ideal environment should be accessible to all, and ample medical research has shown that this results in patients getting better healthcare outcomes overall. We built a comprehensive interview management platform, backed by evidence-based research, to innovate, streamline, and optimize the residency recruitment process.
Our cloud-based software is used by hospital program administrators and faculty to manage all the moving pieces involved with application review, scheduling, interviewing (including virtually), scoring, and ranking. We work with ERAS (the centralized application clearinghouse) and the NRMP (where the match algorithm does its magic). Applicants use Thalamus to sign up for interviews in real time (like OpenTable) and manage their calendars.
Thalamus was born out of our founders’ first-hand experience navigating this stressful and costly process during a particularly challenging interview season disrupted by Hurricane Sandy. Since then, the company has scheduled over 4M interviews for 350K+ physicians. Over 750 academic medical centers and hospital systems in the US & Canada — representing 7,000+ residency and fellowship programs in over 150 specialties — trust Thalamus to recruit their next generation of physicians.
With Thalamus's strategic collaboration with the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) announced in April 2023, nearly all academic medical centers and all medical residency and fellowship applicants will use Thalamus going forward. We are the premier solution and experts in Graduate Medical Education (GME) recruitment. The company is backed by prominent VCs in Silicon Valley.
This is the critical phase in the life of a physician dedicated to the dream of practicing medicine. Every year, approximately 50,000 medical students apply, and 35,000 match, to become medical residents at hospitals throughout the US. We’re honored to play our role in this process.
Thalamus is growing, and we’re hiring smart, creative people who will uniquely contribute to the mission of our company and enrich our company culture. We’re a team of talented professionals who spend our days writing code, analyzing data, and designing applications that deliver client outcomes with the ultimate goal of Connecting The Docs™ for the betterment of the medical profession and patient care as a whole. We’ve found incredibly strong product-market fit in the medical + education space and are proud to be solving some of the toughest problems facing healthcare today.
