Submitting Your Application

The Division of Vascular Surgery participates in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). We match with 1-2 fellows each alternating year. 

Apply through ERAS ERAS® Program for Institutions | AAMC. All application material must be completed and submitted prior to scheduling an interview. Applications are received from December 1- January 31 during the 4th year of residency.

Interview Invitations

Our selection process aims to maximize applicant-program fit and ensure all applicants have an equitable opportunity to demonstrate their skills and capabilities. High-potential candidates will be asked to respond to an additional prompt that is reviewed by the Program Director. Candidates will then be selected from that pool to schedule an interview.

Interviews

We hold two (2) interview days that are held February – March of the applicants’ 4th year of residency.  Interviews are conducted virtually via zoom. 

Faculty interviewers have been equipped with the knowledge and skills to conduct structured, unbiased, and job-related interviews so that all candidates have a fair opportunity to demonstrate their competencies. Our interview days include a brief presentation given by the program director, interviews with faculty members including program director and associate program director, and interactions with our current fellows.
