Prospective Residents
How to Apply for Neurology Residency
Upcoming Recruitment Season 2009-2010
Applicants must meet the UW Hospital and Clinics eligibility requirements.
We participate in the NRMP match to fill our residency training positions. For the purposes of the match process, our program has two program number listings: 1779180A0-Advanced (which does not include the PG1 year) and 1779180C0-Categorical (which does include the PG1 year.)
This year we will offer 4 positions to begin neurology training at the PG2 level starting July 1st 2011. 2 of the 4 positions will include the PG1 year in Internal Medicine, whereas the other 2 positions will not include the PG1 year. The decision to offer a candidate a PG1 year is made in conjunction with the Department of Internal Medicine. All applicants are considered for both programs, so only a single application via ERAS is required. However we ask that you let us know your program preference, if any.
We feel that each application should stand on its own merit. Therefore, we have not established cut-off scores for USMLE, nor do we have a graduation year cut-off date. Research experience is not required. International Medical Graduates are welcome to apply, and currently 4 of our 11 residents are IMG. Please note that the University of Wisconsin is only able to support J-1 visa waivers.
We will start accepting applications via ERAS on September 1st and will continue to accept applications until October 31st. All applications are accepted through the ERAS/NRMP matching system. Through ERAS you will submit up to four letters of recommendation, your medical school transcripts, all USMLE scores, MSPE (formerly the Dean’s letter), and a personal statement with your application. Please note that COMLEX scores will not be accepted or reviewed.
Each applicant will be reviewed individually and only highly qualified applicants will be selected for an interview. Interviews will be scheduled on October 28, November 18, December 2 and 16, January 6 and 13 for invited applicants.
Good Luck! We hope to see you here in Madison.
