Applicants must meet the following requirements:

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.
