Application Procedure
The University of Arizona Emergency Medicine Residency Program accepts applications for PGY I level positions only. This Program participates in the National Resident Matching Program.
For applicants in the PGY I class beginning July 1, 2008 we will be using the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). Our program's deadline for receipt of ERAS application materials is November 1, 2008. Please follow these instructions:
Complete the electronic application (ERAS) at your Dean's office.
Make sure you include:
- Dean's letter;
- Medical school transcript;
- Standardized letter of recommendation from the Emergency Medicine Council of Residency Directors (The Academic Program Director at your institution is preferred)
- Two other current letters of reference (letters from Emergency Medicine physicians are best, letters from other clinical specialties are certainly acceptable, letters from other reference sources may be suitable depending on your background); applicants currently in post-graduate training must supply a letter of reference from their current Program Director.
- USMLE scores Part I (and Part II when completed).
Interviews for Residency Positions
Interviews for residency positions will be granted by invitation only after reviewing your completed application. Our interview season typically runs from the first week of December through the second week of February. Except for extraordinary circumstances, we interview on Tuesdays only.
