Application Process
We accept applications for residency positions each autumn. Currently, we are accepting applications for training to begin July 1, 2011. Baylor participates in the ERAS (Electronic Residency Application Submission) program run by the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC). All application materials are submitted via the internet in electronic data format. You should contact the Dean’s Office at the Medical School from which you graduated in order to obtain appropriate applicant instructions and details on the ERAS program. You may also obtain information on the Internet at www.aamc.org/eras. The ECFMG serves as a “Dean’s Office” for all foreign medical graduates.
Baylor Dermatology also participates exclusively in the Main Match in connection with the NRMP. You will need to register with the NRMP for the Match. The NRMP may be reached at 202-828-0566 or www.nrmp.org. Please make sure to include your NRMP number on your ERAS application.
Please note that applications will not be reviewed until they are complete. We look forward to receiving your application.
