How To Apply

The University of Chicago participates in the National Residency Matching Program. In 2004, the Department of Medicine received 2,536 applications and selected approximately 330 candidates for interviews. Selection for interview is based on a number of factors, including academic performance, clinical performance, particularly in medicine rotations, etc.

The University uses the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). In addition to the Common Application Forms submitted through ERAS, we also require letters of recommendation from the Dean, Chairman of Medicine, and two faculty members, as well as a transcript and USMLE Scores, Parts I and II.

For information on residency training expectations in general, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education has published a list of its requirments:

Residents interested in the Physician Scientist Development Program (ABIM Research Pathway) should identify themselves as candidates to the Physician Scientist Development Program during the application process. As with categorical candidates, we require letters of recommendation from the Dean, Chairman of Medicine, and two faculty members, as well as a transcript and USMLE Scores, Parts I and II. There are additional application materials which focus on research experience and area of interest. Please see our web page on the Physician Scientist Development Program for further information. Candidates will match through an NRMP match dedicated specifically to the Physician Scientist Training Program.

The deadline for completed applications is December 2nd, 2005. Interviews generally begin in late November and end in late January. Files are reviewed as they are completed and selected applicants will be contacted to set up interviews.
