General Surgery Residency Application Process
Appointments to the first year surgical residency are made through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). Applications will be accepted from fourth year medical students wishing to complete our five year general surgery residency program. We will sponsor J-1 visas only for qualified applicants. We are participating in ERAS 2012 - ERAS application materials will be distributed from your dean's office in mid June 2011. Your COMPLETE ERAS application will be due in our office via ERAS by November 1, 2011. Due to the number of applications we receive, WE WILL NOT DOWNLOAD MATERIALS FROM ERAS after November 1, 2011 at 5:00pm.
Please note the following Application Requirements:
- A completed AAMC-NRMP application for residency * An official copy of your National Board Scores or USMLE Scores (220 or above)
- An offical medical school transcript
- Dean's Letter
- At least three (3) letters of professional references written within the last year from surgical faculty members familiar with your performance are required.
Our interviews will be held on Saturday, December 3, 2011 and Saturday, December 10, 2011 by invitation only. There will be no exceptions to these interview dates and any invited applicants must attend an interview date to be considered for a position in our residency program. In addition, the night before the interviews we will have an informal get-together with our current residents. Attendance at this event is not required, but it is a great opportunity to talk to the residents and learn more about our program.
Preliminary Interviews will be held on Thursday, February 2, 2012. Please contact us through ERAS only.
