Application Process

The Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program accepts applications through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) and participates in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). The program offers advanced residency positions, with radiology training beginning at the PGY-2 level after completion of an ACGME-accredited clinical postgraduate year (PGY-1).

How to Apply

Follow these steps to prepare and submit your application.

  1. Submit your application through ERAS

    Complete your ERAS residency application and upload the required supporting materials.

  2. Prepare supporting materials

    The program requires the ERAS application to include: Medical School Transcript, Medical School Dean's Letter, USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 or COMLEX-USA Step 1 and Step 2 for graduates from osteopathic medical schools and 3 letters of recommendation. The department's Diagnostic Radiology Residency FAQs indicate that a letter from a radiologist is helpful but is not specifically required.

  3. Review application timing

    The department recommends submitting a complete ERAS application by October for initial screening and indicates that applications may continue to be reviewed through early December. Confirm current-cycle deadlines with the residency program.

Applicant Selection

Ranking and selection of applicants is made on the basis of information contained in the application form, medical school transcript, medical school dean's letter, and letters of recommendation as well as evaluation of interview with the Program Director, Faculty and Residents
