How to apply

The academic year begins July 1.

The application and all supporting documentation must be submitted by Dec. 15 of the year preceding the appointment date.

You must apply through the Residency Centralized Application Service.

1. Visit the ResidencyCAS website. All applications to Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education programs must include these application materials.
2. Appointments are made through the National Resident Matching Program. Candidates must register through the NRMP website in addition to applying through ResidencyCAS. Candidates who are eligible for admission outside the NRMP also are given consideration.
3. Applicants considered for an appointment will be invited for a personal interview with the program director and selected faculty/residents. Interviews are conducted between October and January (concentrated primarily in November and December) each year.

While our program does preferentially review applications from those who have signaled, we also strongly consider applicants who do not signal us.
