How to apply

This year we will be using CentralApp in addition to the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) for our review process. CentralApp was started as a low-cost alternative to ERAS, and we are piloting this platform with the hope that in future years we can remove the financial barriers created by progressive application fee structures of ERAS. As you will see from the questions, CentralApp also promotes holistic application review by focusing on quality application content rather than quantity. There is no cost for you to use CentralApp.

1. Visit the CentralApp and ERAS websites. All applications to Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education programs must include these application materials. Upon accessing CentralApp, you will be instructed to create a secure account that will be verified by your medical school dean's office, who will submit your transcripts and MSPE directly through the portal. Letters of recommendation should be requested through CentralApp in order for you to have a complete application for us to review. Please direct any questions about the application to HELP@accessgme.com.
2. Appointments are made through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). Candidates must register through the NRMP website in addition to applying through CentralApp and ERAS.
3. Applicants considered for an appointment will be invited to participate in virtual interviews with Mayo Clinic faculty, the program director, and a chief of resident. Interviews are conducted between October and January each year.

International medical graduates

We accept well-qualified international medical graduates through the match process. Mayo Clinic may sponsor J-1 or H-1B visas, depending on the situation. Graduates from medical schools outside the U.S. and Canada must be certified by the ECFMG.

2024 interviews

All interviews will be conducted virtually. Applicants will be provided with several resources to familiarize themselves with the program prior to their interview date. On the evening before the interview, applicants will have an opportunity to participate in a virtual dinner with several current residents. The program will provide UberEats gift cards for this event.

The program conducts both morning and afternoon interview sessions, and applicants only need to participate in one. Applicants will interview with the program director, an associate program director, and a chief resident. During the interview session, applicants have an opportunity to meet informally 1:1 with two residents.
