All applicants must complete all pre-requisite training in an ACGME-accredited internship or residency program before entering or transferring into an ACGME-accredited residency/fellowship program. This includes residents entering into a PGY2 level specialty. 

We will begin accepting applications in September 2023 for PGY2 positions to begin in July 2025. Interviews will be held in October, November, and December 2023 as well as January 2024. Check out our program details on FREIDA

We review all applications and invite candidates to interview as the review process proceeds.  If you have applied for radiology residency through ERAS, you will be notified by e-mail if an invitation to interview will be issued.  The timing of your interview does not affect your chances of obtaining a position in our residency program.  Once you have received an invitation to interview, please respond as promptly as possible. Zoom interviews are conducted on Wednesdays and Fridays. All applicants are invited to an informal Zoom the night before the interview with our residents. 

While there is not a strict deadline, applicants are encouraged to submit all materials promptly as invitations are offered continuously.
