Application Process and Criteria
We participate in the match at the R-1 level each year. There are two distinct tracks for a total of four slots. Applications are accepted only through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). The ERAS Application acceptance cutoff date is Oct. 31 at midnight each year. Applicants must meet the following requirements:
- Be a citizen of the United States or have Permanent Residency (green card)
- We do not sponsor visas of any type
Graduates must provide the following requirements:
- Medical degrees from U.S. medical school
- Curriculum Vitae (CV)
- Personal statement
- Three letters of recommendation
- Medical Student Performance Evaluation (dean’s letter) from your medical school
- Official transcripts from your medical school
The above criteria are intended to serve as guidelines only.
A group consisting of five full-time faculty members and at least one clinical faculty member makes up the selection committee. Each application is reviewed by two committee members. All the applications are discussed, and approximately 40-50 are selected for interview.
Interviews
Interviews are extended to those applicants with credentials suggesting a strong candidacy for orthopedic surgery. Our 2021-2022 interview dates will be January 7 & 8, 2022. Due to the continuing pandemic situation, the program will be offering virtual interviews.
The interview will consist of an overview of the Orthopedic Surgery Residency Program followed by individual interviews with the program director, faculty members and chief resident(s). We will also have a tour of Miami Valley Hospital. Throughout the interview process, applicants will have opportunities to meet with our current residents.
After the interviews are complete, the rank order for the purposes of the match is established by the committee members conducting the interviews, with appropriate input from the resident staff who either know or have had interactions with the candidates.
All residents are taken through the match and selections based solely on qualifications. Each year minorities and women have been ranked.
