We hold our categorical interviews in November and early December. We have a select number of slots available for interviews and accept up to 7 categorical residents each year. Three of those seven slots are matched for incoming residents that know they will want to do research and will commit to going out for two years for dedicated research. Preliminary residents are interviewed in January and our program takes up to approximately 8 preliminary residents each year.

Per the guidelines from APDS, and for the sake of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, we have elected to do our interviews virtually this season.

We take the entire application seriously, and we do not necessarily concretely establish specific scores for grades, boards, personal statement, or extracurricular activities. But clearly, those applicants who demonstrate a desire for academic endeavors enjoy an advantage. However, the categorical residents in our program generally have; USMLE Step 1 first time pass, and Step 2 around 240 or higher and preliminary residents have USMLE Step 1 first time pass, and Step 2 at 230 or higher.

No, however, you must have a minimum of 3 submitted for consideration with one of those letters from the Program Director or the Chair of Surgery.

We only sponsor J1. We do not sponsor H1.

Possibly. There are many variables to consider such as US clinical experience/research and other residencies. We do prefer residents who have been out of school no more than 5 years at most and have been active during this time.
