Application Requirements

An applicant for our pediatric surgical training program must be board-certified or board-eligible in general surgery. It is anticipated that the candidate will become board-certified during this residency. Applications are accepted beginning two years before the start of the residency. Applicants are selected through the matching program conducted by the National Resident Matching Program in January of the year prior to entry; the results are announced in May.

All applications must be submitted to us by December 31, 2006.
