Most program applications are made through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS), but some programs accept applications directly, or through the San Francisco Match or ResidencyCAS.
Check individual residency and fellowship programs for specific application guidelines and requirements for eligibility.
All residents and clinical fellows must provide documentation that they have passed USMLE Step 1 and USMLE Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) or the COMLEX equivalents. Any resident or clinical fellow entering an advanced position at the level PGY– 4 or above must provide documentation that they have passed USMLE Step 3 in addition to USMLE Steps 1 and 2CK (or the COMLEX equivalents) prior to starting in any advanced residency or clinical fellowship training program.
All offers are contingent upon successful completion of the credentialing and hiring processes prior to a candidate’s date.
Credentialing requirements include, but are not limited to, obtaining appropriate licensure to practice medicine in the State of Ohio, verification of medical school graduation and any previous residency training, verification of any previous medical licenses, and the passing of a pre-employment drug screen and criminal background check.
Applicants who are not US citizens must have an active, valid visa that allows for clinical training or a US resident permanent resident card (green card). The visa must be active during the entire period of the residency/fellowship program.
Graduates of foreign medical schools, both US citizens and foreign nationals, must have a current and valid ECFMG certification.
The majority of training programs at UC Health/UCCOM participate in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), as well as another matching programs for Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology, and Urology. Out of match positions are only available when training program slots within our institution go unfilled in the match or in select non-standard training programs.
The NRMP is a private, not-for-profit corporation established in 1952 to provide a uniform date of appointment to positions in graduate medical education in the United States. Most fellowship programs participate in the NRMP Match as well.
It is important to note that the NRMP is not an application service or a job placement service. Applicants must apply directly to residency programs through the desired application platforms (e.g., ERAS, ResidencyCAS, or San Francisco Match) in addition to registering for the match.
