Application Information

2022-2023 Interview Season for 2024 Match 

Application for the Emory Anesthesiology Residency Program is available through the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS).   

For this application cycle, we are recruiting 12 categorical (four-year) spots. 

Residency spots are available through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP).  

As part of our efforts to increase the fairness and objectivity of our selection process – and to give you more opportunities to showcase your unique qualities – we now request (not require) applicants to complete the Supplemental ERAS Application.    

A complete application includes:  

• Personal Statement  
• Three letters of recommendation*  
• Dean’s Letter  
• Medical school transcripts  
• USMLE Step 1 Results 

*We recognize that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, not every applicant will have the opportunity to do a formal anesthesiology rotation or obtain a letter of recommendation from an anesthesiologist.   

USMLE 

We welcome Osteopathic applicants, but we do require that applicants have taken the USMLE.  We will only consider applicants who passed the USMLE Step 1 on the first attempt.   

We expect residents to complete Step 3 in the PGY-1 year.  

International Graduates  

We welcome applications from exceptionally qualified International Medical Graduates.  International graduates must submit a copy of their ECFMG Standard Certificate. In addition to being certified by the ECFMG, international graduates must also be sponsored by the ECFMG. If you are accepted as a resident, the Dean's office will send you the materials you will need to be sponsored by the ECFMG and receive your J-1 visa.  We do not support H-1 visas.  

We require a medical degree or post-graduate training from a United States-accredited program.  We accept applications only through ERAS.  

Interview Day Details  

All interviews this season will be conducted by video on the Thalamus platform, including those for local applicants.  Applicants invited to interview will be given access to an applicant website with an overview of the program and videos from our program leaders, residents, and alumni. Many of these materials are already available on our website.  Video interviews will consist of sessions with the Program Director, Associate Program Directors, and various other faculty members from the Recruitment Committee.  In lieu of dinner with the residents this year, applicants will schedule informal zoom sessions with a Chief resident and other residents in the program.  

All scheduling will occur using Thalamus.
