| Application
Process
Applying
Three categorical General Surgery residents are chosen annually
through the National Resident Matching Program. Our program offers
no preliminary positions in General Surgery. Applications are
accepted solely through
ERAS and selection is based on academic
records, accomplishments, recommendations and personal interviews.
We have no minimum test score but expect highly qualified
candidates. We like three Letters of Recommendation from academic
surgeons and we like recent graduates. International medical
graduates must currently be in or have completed one year in a
General Surgery residency program in the United States. We sponsor
H1 and J1 visas.
Interviews are conducted in November and December; therefore,
applicants are encouraged to submit their applications as soon as
the ERAS post office opens in September. Our invitations to
interview are sent through ERAS email. We do not send letters of
rejection. An informational packet with all of the details of the
interview process is mailed to each candidate scheduled to
interview. Our interview ‘day’ consists of interviews with our
Program Director, Associate Program Director, three Attending
Surgeons and several residents on either Thursday afternoon or
Friday midday. On Thursday evening, you will attend a social
gathering and dinner with our residents. On Friday, you will attend
educational conferences and a department presentation and receive a
tour of our facilities. We provide each candidate with a hotel room.
Directions to our facilities are included on the ‘Teaching
Facilities’ pages.
