RESIDENT RECRUITMENT
We accept
applications through the CAS (Central Application Service)
through the Neurological Surgery Match Program, a part of the SF
Matching service. You may visit
their website at
www.sfmatch.org.
Applications
are accepted from non-US medical schools. Minimum two-digit
scores of 80 are required on Step 1 and Step 2 CK of the USMLE
for consideration.
Interview
offers are initially made in September continuing into later
months as necessary, with subsequent interviews in October,
November, and occasionally December. Our schedule for 2007
interviews are below. Approximately 20-30% of
applicants, from a competitive pool, have been interviewed in
the past. From this, we select one resident for the incoming
year.
The
Department of Neurosurgery has an integrated PGY-1 year. Thus,
acceptance into the program guarantees the applicant the PGY-1
year in general surgery. There is no need to apply separately
through the NRMP.
We strongly encourage you to
interview Oct/Nov/Dec.
