Return to Residency Program Menu

Applications for residency are accepted through Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) only. This service, which is sponsored by Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), transmits residency applications, letters of recommendation, Dean's Letters, transcripts, and other supporting credentials from medical schools to residency program directors. We do not require any documents in addition to ERAS requirements.

Please refer to ERAS web site or the contact person at your school in order to learn more about applying for residency through ERAS.

The Department of Orthopaedics participates in the National Resident Matching Program. Through this program, five residents will be selected for a traditional 5-year orthopaedic residency program. A sixth resident will be chosen for the 6-year research track program.
