Application Procedure

The program is entered from the fourth year of medical school, through the NRMP (National Residents Matching Program). We accept applications from fourth year medical students via the on-line Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). Please refer to ERAS website at www.aamc.org/eras and your own Dean's office to complete your application to the program. The following information should be submitted through ERAS for our program:

1. ERAS application form (including CV and personal statement)

2. Medical school transcript

3. National Board scores - Part I (Part II if available)

4. 3 letters of recommendation (at least 1 from a plastic surgeon)

5. Recent photograph

6. Dean's letter is not expected until later in the year

No supplementary materials outside of ERAS are required, and U.S. mail will not be accepted.

Two individuals are selected each year through this process, meaning that those entering the final two years of Plastic Surgery had been selected in the match over four years previously.

ERAS applications will begin downloading on September 1, and our annual application deadline is November 5. Please contact your designated Dean's Office for instructions on downloading to MyERAS.

Applications will be reviewed and interviews will be scheduled with selected individuals on two possible dates: a Wednesday morning in both December and January, from 7:00 am to 1:00 pm. Each candidate will have personal interviews with the attending and resident staff of Plastic and General Surgery, a tour of the hospital facilities, and lunch with the staff. On the nights before interviews, social hours will be held for applicants and resident staff with an opportunity to informally get acquainted.

Please browse our web site for further information on our program, where several links to other plastic surgery sites can be found as well.
