The Anesthesiology Residency Program will participate in ERAS, with interviews remaining virtual using Zoom.

All applicants applying for PGY-1 positions must complete an application in ERAS and participate in the National Residency Match Program (NRMP).

Beginning in mid-October, selected candidates will be invited to interview.  During the interview, you will meet our Chair, members of the selection committee, other faculty, and several residents.

Candidates are invited to participate in a virtual meet-and-greet with our residents the night before your interview.  This is the perfect opportunity to ask questions and hear more about our program before your interview.
