Application Process

Senior medical students and graduates are invited to apply to our four-year anesthesiology residency program. Applicants are strongly encouraged to complete the majority of their ERAS application by the initial September opening. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and earlier submission is to the applicant’s advantage.

To be considered for our program, all applications must be submitted by November 1.

Required Application Materials

Applicants must submit the following materials through ERAS:

  • Common application form
  • Medical school transcripts
  • Personal statement
  • USMLE Step 1 pass/fail score (required for all applicants, regardless of background)
  • Dean’s letter (Medical Student Performance Evaluation)
  • Three current letters of recommendation
  • Any additional appropriate credentials

Special Consideration for Foreign Medical Graduates Applicants

We welcome applications from Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs). While not required, prior U.S. clinical experience is considered helpful and desirable for successful applicants. We sponsor J-1 visas.

FMG applicants must provide:

  • Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) certificate
    • This may be submitted at a later date if not available by the application deadline
  • USMLE examination pass/fail result
  • Appropriate visa status (permanent resident, green card holder, or visa)
  • Assurance of English fluency

Candidate Interviews

Each application cycle, we offer multiple opportunities for applicants to learn more about our program. You may find us in person at the ASA Annual Meeting Residency Open House and virtually at our Virtual Open House. Dates are published annually on the ASA website.

Applicants selected for interviews will be invited to participate in a virtual interview session with department faculty, program leadership, and current residents. Interview invitations are extended on a rolling basis, and interviews are conducted from October through January.

Throughout the interview process, applicants will have both formal and informal opportunities to speak with current residents. These interactions are designed to help applicants determine whether our program is a good fit for their training goals and personal priorities.

Applicants who are invited to interview will also be invited to our Second Look Open House in February. This optional, in-person event allows applicants to experience the program firsthand. We commit to hosting this event after submission of our rank order list, ensuring that attendance does not affect applicant ranking. The event is held before applicant rank lists are due, allowing applicants to use their visit when finalizing their own rankings.
