Applicants must be:

We do NOT offer the clinical year, hence all applicants must  have completed at least one clinical year in an ACGME-accredited residency training program.

A personal interview is required, which will give the applicant an opportunity to meet the faculty/staff in the department. All interviews for the Occupational Medicine and Public Health/General Preventive Medicine residency programs are currently being conducted via Zoom.

Interviews are by invitation only. Once the application is completed, the candidate will be invited by phone or e-mail to schedule an interview date.
