We participate in the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). You will need to submit your application documents electronically via your Dean's Office Workstation or, if you are a foreign medical graduate, the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduation (ECFMG).  The University of Minnesota accepts  J-1 clinical visas in our training programs.

The required electronic application documents are as follows:

• Common Application Form
• Curriculum Vitae Report
• Personal Statement
• Medical School Transcript
• Dean's Letter
• 3 Letters of Recommendation
• Wallet-sized color photo
• United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Transcripts
• ECFMG Status Report (foreign medical graduates only)

Your completed electronic application must be available to us no later than November 1, 2008, for the 2009-2010 training year. The Department of Surgery will invite a limited number of applicants for interviews. We will contact you regarding the status of your application once all of your application documents have been received. All of our PGY-1 categorical positions are filled through the National Resident Matching Program.

We look forward to receiving your application documents electronically. If you have any questions, please call the Surgical Education Office at 612-626-2590.
