General Surgery - Applicants
Application Process
All applications are processed through the ERAS (Electronic Resident Application Service) program. This can accessed on-line at: www.aamc.org/eras. The deadline for applying to the program is December 31st of any calendar year. There is no minimum score requirement for USMLE Step 1. We will need to have documentation of test scores at the time of your interview. The interview season lasts from November through January. We do not require prior experience to apply to the program. We will sponsor only the J1 VISA.
Interview Day
A typical interview day will consist of Grand Rounds, interviews and tours, as well as an opportunity to meet current house staff. Each interview day will begin at 7:45 a.m. and conclude around 3:00 p.m. Upon confirming your appointment for an interview, we will send you information on travel, accommodations, transportation, etc. We also have a dinner evening before interviews with several of the residents at a local restaurant if you are available. This will give you the opportunity to see the downtown area and visit with residents in a more casual atmosphere.
