Residency Program
Applications must be submitted through the Central Application Service (CAS), 415.447.0350, Ophthalmology Matching Program, #391-63, ACGME #240921155, University of Utah for the next match.
The University of Utah also participates in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), 202.828.0566. In partnership with the Internal Medicine Department, we also offer an ACGME accredited Preliminary Medicine/Ophthalmology Internship Program listed with NRMP as Medicine-Ophthalmology, #1732140P1; ACGME #2404921155.
Three internship positions are offered which consist of four months of Ophthalmology, six months of medicine, one month of neurology and one month of E.R. The Medicine, Neurology and Emergency Room experience will be the eight month rotation with the Internal Medicine Department and the University affiliated hospital system.
We require the three applicants who match with our Ophthalmology Residency Program to also participate in this Medicine/Ophthalmology internship program; so, you must be registered with NRMP. From the applications received from CAS, those outstanding individuals invited to interview for our residency program will also be interviewed for our internship program at the same time. There will not be a separate scheduled interview for only the internship program; nor will the applicant need to interview with the Internal Medicine Department.
The Department of Ophthalmology will submit the rank list to NRMP and only the applicants we interviewed will be ranked (as mentioned above, the three applicants who match with our residency program are also required to participate in this internship program). So, though we do not require an additional application from NRMP be submitted to us, only the application from CAS, please remember you only need to be registered with NRMP so if interviewed you can be ranked.
Incomplete applications will not be considered. When the application review is completed by our faculty, all applicants will receive written notification of their status.
Our interview dates for 2008:
Friday, November 14, 2008
Monday, November 17, 2008
Friday, November 21, 2008
Monday, November 24, 2008
Candidates will not be matched to our residency program without an interview. Last year, 200 applications were received and of those, 20 interviews were conducted.
