Interview Information
If you are scheduled to interview with one of Emory's advanced programs (dermatology, neurology, radiology, radiation oncology, ophthalmology, or PM&R), you will NOT need a separate interview with our program. Information sessions will be available for those interviewing with Emory Advanced Programs in January and February. Look for a post-interview email from Advanced Programs regarding this session.
We work closely with the advanced programs regarding each applicant and will rank you after their interviews have ended.
We will have a very limited number of spots available for applicants not directly matching into the above programs. For the 2025–2026 match, we will be offering interviews virtually.
As an example, if you are interested in Radiation Oncology at a different institution but would like to do your transitional year with us at Emory, you can apply for the Transitional Year Program through ERAS.
Please apply via ERAS. We receive a large number of applications and emails during recruitment cycles and may not be able to respond to all of them.
Virtual interviews will be held December 2024 and January 2025 to allow most applicants time to interview with Advanced Programs. If selected for an interview, we will contact you via email.
National Resident Matching Program (NRMP)
There are two ways to match into the Transitional Year Program:
1. Match into an Emory advanced program that has positions linked to our Transitional Year Program. There are three programs that have NRMP numbers that directly link to our Transitional Year Program:
-
Transitional/Neurology: 1113999P2*
-
Transitional/Ophthalmology: 1113999P6*
-
Transitional/Radiology: 1113999P3*
- Transitional/Radiation Oncology: 1113999P5
If you are applying to one of these advanced programs, be sure to use the specific NRMP number above, as well as including the general Transitional Year Program NRMP number (1113999P0) on your secondary rank list. For these programs, a separate interview with the Transitional Year Program is not necessary; the interview scores obtained during your interview with the advanced program will be communicated with the Transitional Year Program director prior to rank link submission.
2. Match directly into the Transitional Year Program. In this case, the general Transitional Year Program NRMP number is 1113999P0.
For these spots, ERAS applications will be reviewed and interviews offered based on the strength of applications. Please see interview information above.
Please note: Registering with ERAS does not register applicants with the NRMP nor does registering with the NRMP register applicants to ERAS. View the NRMP Match Schedule here.
