Anesthesiology Residency Admissions FAQs

We offer 14 categorical positions, three advanced positions, and three physician-only positions. All positions are offered through the NRMP match. Final determination of the number of slots each year will be determined by Jan. 15 of the year of the applicable match.

Yes.

The American Board of Anesthesiology requires that all physician-only and advanced applicants complete 6 months of inpatient service.

In an attempt to assist our trainees, we also highly suggest that they complete:

  • 1 month of Emergency Medicine
  • 2 months of Critical Care service

Also, the ACGME will only allow 1 month of Anesthesiology during an intern year.

Interviews are usually conducted in October, November and December. A selection of dates will be provided in the invitation to interview that the applicant receives via Thalamus.

Each year, the program directors determine the setting for our interviews based on the current national recommendations. These interviews will be conducted virtually this year.

Passing USMLE Step 2 CK on the 1st attempt with a score of 245 or above is required, as well as passing USMLE Step 1 on the 1st attempt.

Step 2 is required prior to considering an applicant for an interview.

In addition to the standard application requirements, IMGs are required to have completed, or be in the process of completing, one year of clinical training (PGY-1) in the United States in an ACGME-accredited program.

We do not sponsor H-1b visas for any position (categorical, advanced or physician-only).

We do not sponsor J-1 visas for categorical positions.

There is no specific cutoff. The applicant's activities after graduating from medical school will be taken into account, and interviews will be granted at the discretion of the selection committee.

Each year, we have many outstanding D.O. applicants and have matched these students in the past.

Away electives are determined at the discretion of our medical student liaison.

Our department allows CA-2 and CA-3 residents to participate in internal moonlighting activities only.

While previous experience and training are important, experience in the management of patients under anesthesia (and potential complications) in the operating room and remote locations can only be obtained during an anesthesiology residency. This program feels that it is critical for the training of our residents to complete 36 months of their clinical anesthesia years for graduation.

Yes, all residents are involved in a scholarly activity project each year.

Yes, all incoming residents must have all three doses or an exemption for medical contraindications or sincerely held religious beliefs.

No, we do not.

Residents' first day of clinical duties begins July 1, but mandatory orientations begin approximately one week prior.
