Categorical Training in General Surgery
Selection Process
The Department of Surgery participates in the National Resident Matching Program. Four or five positions are available in the Categorical Program. Each applicant must be a graduate of an approved medical school, and should be in the upper third of his or her class. A letter from the Dean, three letters of recommendation, an official transcript, a personal statement, a curriculum vitae and scores from parts 1 and 2 of the National Boards should be sent with your completed application form. Based on these materials, selected individuals will be offered a personal interview. At that time, the applicant will have the opportunity to meet several of the surgical faculty members, tour the Medical Center, and discuss the training program with our house staff. Applications are mailed upon request July through October. Interviews are held on specific Wednesdays and Saturdays during December, January, and early February. The match lists are submitted in February, and results of the match are available during the middle of March. The specific dates are listed with the material you receive from the Match Program. No results will be released until noon on Match Day except to those individuals who did not match.
