For specific eligibility requirements, please refer to the GME benefits, requirements and resources page.

Our application process is through the AAMC’s Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). Please visit their site for more information. Our program participates in the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP).

We know 2020 is a very different application year. Many students may not have completed USMLE Step 2 exams. Some DO students may not have taken the USMLE Step 1 exam. Students may not have been able to obtain a letter of recommendation from an anesthesiologist. We understand and have adjusted our minimum requirements:

Completion of USMLE Step I with a minimum passing score of 225; or completion of COMLEX Level 1 with minimum passing score of 520.
At least three clinical letters of recommendation from physicians who can attest to your clinical work, ethics and abilities. These should be from those who know you best.
Completion of the ERAS application form and ALL the documents required in the electronic application.
Completion of our program specific supplemental application (no later than Oct 23rd, 2020)

All documents should be uploaded to ERAS. Please don’t fax, email or mail us any documents unless we specifically request them from you. The application process opens in September and the deadline for submitting your completed application is October 23rd.

Programs will not have access to applications until October 21st, 2020. We will review them and send invitations for interviews on Friday, November 20th, 2020. Interviews will be conducted from December 2020 through January 2021.

All interviews will be virtual via Zoom in 2020-2021 season. For individuals attending an interview, we suggest to arrive 5-10 minutes before the scheduled start time in usual professional attire. Candidates should be in a quiet space with fast internet connection. Both video and audio will be used during the interviews.

The interview experience will start the evening before the scheduled date with a virtual happy hour with our residents. This is time is so all candidates can really meet our residents and get a true feel of our program in a more relaxed atmosphere. The day of the interview will start with a brief introduction and program overview by the program director. Candidates will participate in five, 10-minute interviews with faculty from our recruitment committee as well as a fun group activity. There is a virtual tour by our chief residents of the hospital, including the operating rooms, labor and delivery, post-anesthesia care unit, pre-op holding area and the simulation center. The interview will conclude with a brief meeting with the program director to answer any remaining questions.
