Thank you for your interest in the Obestetrics and Gynecology Residency Program! Applicants may begin submitting applications to our program on September 2, 2026. We will accept applications through ResidencyCas until September 27, 2026.
To be considered for an interview, all application materials must be complete and submitted through ResidencyCAS. Required materials include:
- A completed ResidencyCAS application
- Official USMLE and/or COMLEX transcripts
- Official medical school transcript
- At least three letters of recommendation from faculty members familiar with the applicant's clinical performance. We accept Standardized Letters of Evaluation (SLOEs); however, they are not required, and applicants without a SLOE will receive full consideration.
- Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE/Dean's Letter)
When completing your application, please be sure to check the box indicating your request for electronic transmission of your licensure test scores. Also, please be sure to update your electronic application with any changes such as contact address, email address, telephone number, or honors received.
Residency interviews will be conducted virtually on the following dates:
- Wednesday, November 11, 2026
- Thursday, November 19, 2026
- Friday, December 4, 2026
There will be pre-interview meet and greets with the residents the evening before your interview. On your interview day, you will meet the department chair, residency program education team, faculty representatives from various divisions and clinical sites, and residents. We utilize structured and behavioral interview questions to reduce bias.
Additional information:
- We do not have a minimum score requirement for USMLE Steps 1 and 2.
- No time requirements for time between medical school graduation and residency.
- Our institution sponsors J-1 visas only.
- US experience is not a requirement but is always helpful.
