Creating your Thalamus Applicant Account

To create an Applicant Account with Thalamus, you must be invited to interview with a residency or fellowship program. 

1. You will receive an email from Thalamus providing a unique token code to create a profile. This code will link you to the "Create a Profile" page at www.thalamusgme.com
   Note: Once an account has been created this token code will expire.
   
   
2. The "Account Creation" module will appear.  Enter your information into the required fields.
   Note: The AAMC ID # (8-digit number) is required as a security check. This is not USMLE ID, NRMP ID or SF Match ID.  Most AAMC IDs start with the number 1.
   
   
3. Once all required information has been entered, the "Create Account" button will illuminate. Select "Create Account" to continue.  Select "Cancel" to discard.
   
   
4. The "Profile Information" module will appear. Some of your profile information may be pre-populated from your Residency or Fellowship application.
