General Surgery Residency Application

We are looking for residents who want broad general surgery training that will prepare them for practice in rural, urban or global environments, or prepare them for a subspecialty fellowship, if desired. If that is you, apply through Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) by October 1.
 

When you apply through ERAS, include: 

• A personal statement  
• Your medical school transcript  
• Dean's letter (or equivalent)  
• Results of standardized tests: USMLE, COMLEX, NBME, FLEX, FMGEMS or equivalent; all in-service exams; ECFMG certificate (IMG applicants)  
• 3 recommendation letters from physicians, preferably from surgeons you’ve worked alongside. If you graduated from an international medical school, the letters should address your clinical experience in the U.S.  

We will extend a virtual interview offer to our top candidates after a holistic review of applications. Candidates can expect their interview on a Wednesday between October and January. Candidates will join a virtual social hour with our residents the evening before the interview. 

You are eligible to apply for our residency if you: 

• Speak and write English  
• Completed visa paperwork and fees, if applicable  
• Graduated from medical school within the last 2 years  
• Passed USMLE Step 1 and 2 (or equivalent) on the first attempt 
• Have a minimum of 1 year of U.S. direct patient care experience. For U.S. medical students, your clinical rotations during medical school will meet this requirement.
