Applying to the Residency Program

To apply to our Program you should submit all information through ERAS, following their instructions at http://www.aamc.org/students/eras/start.htm

Residency Program Positions
Our department has two different programs available. One is called Categorical, and it is a 4-year program. The other is called Advanced, it is a 3-year program. It is possible to apply to either or both programs:

• Categorical 4-Year Program: Includes completing your internship within our program. If you match through ERAS, you enter into a PGY1 position in June of that same year. You stay at UVA PM&R for four years.
  Program Code: 1737340C0
  (2 positions are available each match for this program.)
  
  
• Advanced 3-Year Program: Does not include the PGY1 year. You complete your intern year prior to joining our PGY2 class. If you match through ERAS, you enter into our program the following year in July, after completing your preliminary year requirements in another program. You stay at UVA PM&R for three years.
  Program Code: 1737340A0
  (2 positions are available each match for this program.)

2007-2008 Academic Year
For the next match, we begin accepting applications through ERAS once ERAS opens. We accept complete applications through November 1st, 2007. We invite applicants selected for interviews throughout October and November. Our interviews may take place in October, November, December 2007 or January 2008 (depending on what we schedule in a given year). The interview schedule is not finalized until October/November 2007. We participate in the NRMP matching program. We do not accept any applications that do not come through ERAS.
