Residency Application Procedure 

Applications for residency are accepted through

Electronic Residency Application Services (ERAS) ONLY.

This service, which is sponsored by Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), transmits residency applications, letters of recommendation, Dean's letters, transcripts, and other supporting credentials from medical schools to residency program directors. We do not require any documents in addition to ERAS requirements.

Please refer to ERAS or the contact person at your school in order to learn more about applying for residency.

The Department of Anesthesiology participates in the National Resident Matching Program. Through this program, 12 residents will be selected to participate in our programs. Positions will be available in the 3-year advanced program and in the 4-year categorical program.

Interviews

Interviews will be conducted on The Ohio State University Campus during November, December and January. Interview dates for 2009-2010 are posted below. All applicants selected for an interview will be notified via e-mail as soon as possible. 

There will be 10 applicants scheduled per day and we will have a morning group of 5 and an afternoon group of 5. At the time of your interview invitation we will ask your preference, if any, for a morning or afternoon session. Our residents will host a dinner for applicants the night before your interview and we strongly encourage you to make every effort to arrive in Columbus in time to join the group at Martini's Italian Bistro.

We are happy to pay for one night lodging and will make your overnight reservations at either The Blackwell or The Hampton Inn, depending upon availability. Please be sure to inform us if you will require hotel reservations and if you have any special needs.

1. Completion and submission of the ERAS Common Application Form
2. Dean's letter
3. An official copy of your medical school transcript
4. USMLE or COMLEX test scores (we have not set a minimum score)
