Two residents are accepted each year into a five-year program. Rotations are structured to provide graduated responsibility. About half of our graduating residents have gone on to sub-specialty fellowships. Applications to the program are accepted at any time. Selection of residents is made through the National Resident Matching Program in the winter preceeding the July starting date.
Personal interviews are necessary and by invitation only.
The requirement for starting the residency is a medical degree from a medical school accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Appointments are renewable annually at the discretion of the House Officer and the department chairman. For the past ten years our mean scores have been well above the 50th percentile. Resident attendance at focused national review and update courses is underwritten by the department, with course selection based on each resident's needs. Residents presenting papers at regional or national meetings are supported at the chairman's designation.
