Application Process

How to Apply

Senior medical students and graduates may apply to our four-year anesthesiology residency program. Applicants should strive to complete the majority of their ERAS application in time for the initial September application opening; we review applications on a rolling basis and an earlier submission is to your benefit. In order to be considered for our program, we request all applications to be submitted by November 1.

Required Application Materials to be Submitted via ERAS

  • Common application form
  • Medical school transcripts
  • Personal statement
  • USMLE Step 1 pass/fail score submitted, regardless of background
  • Dean's letter from medical school
  • Three current letters of recommendation
  • Any other appropriate credentials

Special Consideration for Foreign Medical Graduates Applicants

We welcome Foreign Medical Graduate (FMG) applications for residency. Although not required, we find IMG applicants with previous US clinical experience to be helpful and desirable for successful applicants. We do sponsor J1 Visas.

In order to apply as an FMG, please provide:

  • Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) certificate; this can be provided at a later date if not available ahead of the application deadline
  • USMLE examination pass/fail result
  • Ensure there is appropriate visa status (permanent resident, green card holder, or visa)
  • Assurance of English fluency

Candidate Interviews

We offer opportunities to learn about our program each application cycle. Look for us in person at the ASA Annual Meeting Residency Open House and virtually at our Virtual Open House (dates available on the ASA website each year).

Applicants who are considered for an interview will be invited to participate in a virtual interview session with our department faculty, program leaders, and residents. Interviews are offered on a rolling basis and will be conducted in October through January each year.

Opportunities to speak with current residents during the interview process, both formally and informally, are designed to support applicants in determining if our program will be a good fit.

Applicants who have been invited to interview will be invited to our "Second Look" open house in February. This is an optional opportunity to see our program in person. We commit to holding this event after submitting our rank order list so that any applicant's presence will not impact our ranking decisions. We commit to hosting this event before applicant ranking lists are due so that applicants may use their visit to rank our program.
