How to Apply

Applications for the Obstetrics and Gynecology residency program are accepted only through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). Registration with the National Resident Matching Program is essential.

Understanding the Application Process

For an application to be considered complete, it must include the following:

  • ERAS Application Form (with Curriculum Vitae)
  • Personal Statement
  • Transcripts
  • USMLE Score(s)
  • Dean's Letter describing applicant's academic record, relative standing in the class, and performance on the clinical services
  • At least three letters of recommendation, with one from the applicant's department chair
  • Photo

Our program follows the CREOG and APGO recommended recruitment guidelines as below:

  • Our final ob-gyn application deadline is set to September 25, 2024 (same date as Medical Student Performance Evaluation release).
  • We are limiting our program interview invitations to the number of interview slots available.
  • We are allowing a minimum of 48 hours after an interview invitation email has been sent for the applicant to respond.
  • We will inform applicants of their status (eg, invited for interview; wait-listed; or rejected, if the applicant has not been offered an interview) no later than November 1, 2024.
  • With the eventual goal of having common interview release dates for all programs, we are using the date of October 29 for initial release of interview offers, followed by rolling offers.

For more information on the new specialty-wide standards for the OB-Gyn residency application and interview process, which includes a student FAQs listing, please visit the APGO website.

Additional Information

  • There is a one year limit on the number of years between medical school graduation and application
  • USMLE score requirement: We have not established a specific minimum score. We will consider applicants that have not passed step 1 on the first attempt as long as you have retaken the exam and passed.
  • Every applicant is evaluated based upon the sum of their experiences.
