Welcome to the Baylor College of Medicine Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Resident Applicant website.
It is our intent to use the Internet, rather than brochures, to keep interested medical students updated with the latest information about our program. All graduates of U.S. accredited medical or osteopathic schools, along with ECFMG approved foreign medical schools are invited to apply. Applications are accepted only through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). The system normally opens in mid to late August, and we begin downloading files immediately. Our deadline for all paperwork is November 15.

A file is printed and sent to our Interview Committee as soon as it contains:

 ERAS Application  Personal Statement
 Medical School Transcript  Curriculum Vitae
 Letters of Recommendation (minimum of two)  ECFMG Certification (if needed)
 USMLE Transcript(s)  

A note on recommendation letters: our program requires a minimum of four in total: Dean's Letter, Chairman's Letter and at least two others. If a candidate is invited for an interview, those documents must be in place before the interview.

All applicants will be contacted with the committee's decision, by email, which normally takes one week after the file is made "active." Those applicants being invited to interview will also be contacted by phone. Our dates for the upcoming interview season are:

 November 17 & 18, 2007 Friday/Saturday
 November 30 & December 1, 2007 Friday/Saturday
 January 4 & 5, 2008 Friday/Saturday

Interviews are booked on a first come, first serve basis. Approximately 20 applicants are interviewed per day. We will host a happy hour with applicants and current residents. All applicants are expected to attend.

Foreign Medical Graduates
As in other residency programs, Baylor College of Medicine does not discriminate on the basis of race or nationality. The philosophy of Baylor College of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics Gynecology, has been to seek out highly qualified international medical graduates who will add diversity and maturity to the program.

If you are selected to interview, before a date may be booked, we also require:

 Translated and Notarized copy of Medical School Transcript
 Translated and Notarized copy of Medical School Diploma(s)
 Appropriate ECFMG Certification
 Deans' Certification

Because it may take several weeks to gather these documents, you are encouraged to begin early. Once assembled, immediately forward them to our Academic Office. Office Attn: Residency Coordinator, 1709 Dryden Rd, Suite 1100, Houston, Texas 77030

Thank you for your interest, and please contact our Office of Medical Education with any questions.
