REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICATION
TO THE UMASS OB/GYN RESIDENCY PROGRAM

The University of Massachusetts Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program participates in the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP).  All applications to the UMass OB/GYN residency program must come through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS).  Applications must include three letters of recommendation.  In order to be considered for an interview, applicants must have passing scores on USMLE Step I.  Applicants must also have passed USMLE Step II (CS and CK) before starting residency, as it is a requirement for Massachusetts licensure.  COMLEX scores are accepted for graduates of osteopathic medical schools.

The UMass OB/GYN residency program has five categorical PGY-1 positions available in the match each year.  We hold five interview days each year:  two in November, two in December and one in January.  The deadline for application is December 15th.  Interviews are held by invitation only and are required for an applicant to be ranked in the NRMP Match.

Graduates of international medical schools must be certified by the Education Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) and have one year of clinical experience in the US medical system.  At least one letter of recommendation must come from a supervisor of that US experience.  There are no regulations regarding the number of years since medical school graduation.

Visa sponsorship changes frequently and the latest information is available upon request.
