MANAGE YOUR PROGRAM EFFECTIVELY

Minimize email, phone calls and other repetitive tasks

Eliminate back-and-forth communications or having to play air-traffic controller while managing breakout rooms. Avoid interruptions and focus on the more critical elements of your job, while engaging with applicants, improving program satisfaction and decreasing burnout.

"We tried Thalamus for the first time in 2015 and found that it eliminated a tremendous amount of administrative work. It was especially helpful in September when we invited 159 applicants and scheduled almost all of them during a single 24-hour period with just a few clicks and virtually no phone calls or emails. But it was also a big help throughout the interview season as our applicants easily canceled and rescheduled their interviews as needed without having to bother us. Using Thalamus gave us a lot more time to focus on the interview experience and on the day-to-day operations of running a residency program."

CELEBRATE SUPPORT FROM THE EXPERTS

Recruit with confidence, because we’ve got your back

Team Thalamus includes former applicants, coordinators and directors who have all lived through decades of GME recruitment. In fact, our entire support team is led by seasoned program coordinators, including those with C-TAGME certification. Built by GME for GME, Team Thalamus are the experts in recruitment.

"One of the best features of Thalamus is its customer support. The team was very responsive to our needs and questions. We also provided suggestions for improvement which they took under advisement and, oftentimes, implemented in their upgrades. It felt like we were helping Thalamus design a software that truly addresses the program coordinators’ needs and wants, instead of having a software that is only partly useful in helping us get our job done. We now have a powerful software, designed with our input, that has features we need the most, as well as many of the features that are nice to have. This unique relationship that Thalamus has established with its users is priceless and makes all the difference!"
