Application Process

All PGY-1 residency candidates will be accepted through the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP). The Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) is used for all PGY-1 residency applications.

The program generally accepts 6-8 new residents per year.

Each application is reviewed and assessed based on its merits.

• Personal Statement

• Have a demonstrated interest in and exposure to pathology and/or laboratory medicine

Interviews for AP/CP and AP-NP, AP-only are held virtually on Tuesdays of each week beginning on October 18th, 2022 with AM and PM options. Interviews for CP-only are either in-person or virtual and are scheduled individually; applicants will be contacted directly by the CP associate program directors. Interviews are offered on a rolling basis and are conducted through January 2023.

Each day allows applicants time to meet with the program director and current residents, as well as attend an interactive resident-driven slide seminar and interview one-on-one with program faculty and program leadership. Although it is not a mandatory part of the interview day, we highly recommend applicants take part in a virtual Monday night dinner with the current residents.

To get the most out of your interview day, we recommend you review this website first to learn about the structure and opportunities the program has to offer. We also have a frequently asked questions area. With these details in mind, you can spend the interview day focusing on how the curricular components look in practice and how they will allow you to thrive as you begin your career in pathology.
