The Department of Pediatrics requires applications to be submitted through the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS). Documents submitted separately by mail, email or fax will not be considered as part of an applicant's file. All our residency positions are filled using the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) in March.
Applications are accepted and reviewed from September through January. It is strongly recommended to have your application in as early as possible via ERAS to guarantee adequate time for our review panel.
Our interview season begins in November and continues through January.
Candidates that have been selected to interview will be notified and scheduled through ERAS.

Applicants should have a pass on USMLE Step II-CK, when the exam is offered by the NBME.
Applicants should have taken both USMLE Step II-CS and USMLE Step II-CK (when offered) by the time the rank order lists are due.
We recommend medical school graduation within the last 10 years. If it has been more than 10 years since graduation we review those applications case by case.
