Applications

All applications for the General Surgery Training Program are accepted through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). You also must register with the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP).

Our requirements for application include:

  • Common application form
  • Personal statement
  • Medical school transcripts
  • MSPE/dean’s letter
  • Letters of recommendation (minimum of three)
  • Photograph
  • USMLE transcripts
  • ECFMG status report – foreign graduates only

While rotating here allows you to meet our faculty and residents, it is by no means necessary for matching here.

This year we will be performing virtual interviews. We highly encourage you to explore our website in order to get to know our program. The decision to choose a residency program without having visited the city or campus is understandably difficult so please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.
