Residency Program Applicants
For specific eligibility requirements, please refer to GME benefits, requirements and resources.
We participate in the ResidencyCAS and will only accept applications for our residency through this process. All interested applicants should coordinate their application with their dean’s office at their respective medical schools. For more information about our program please continue to browse our website or you may always contact one of our residency program assistants by e-mail or phone.
As a member of the Council of Residency Directors in Emergency Medicine County Programs Community of Practice, we participate in the Unified Interview Release Date. All participating programs will release their initial interview invites at a pre-specified date and time and open our online interview scheduling program the following day so that students can anticipate when to expect their first interview invitations. After this date, we will continue to invite applicants on a rolling basis from those who remain on our hold list as interview spots become available.
The Emergency Medicine Residency Association maintains a nationwide map of all of the current emergency medicine residencies with links to their websites. The Council of Residency Directors in Emergency Medicine also maintains a listing of residency vacancies for residents currently in training who are searching for transfer opportunities. If a residency vacancy for our program becomes available during the academic year, we will advertise it on this site.
