Applicant Information and Eligibility

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.

  • Candidates that have been selected to interview will be notified and scheduled through Thalamus.
