Approximately 350 interviews are granted each year. The deadline for receipt of applications is November 1st 2006. Positions occasionally are available for junior residency. The applicant follows the same process as for internship and should also include a letter of recommendation from his/her program director that reflects all prior training experience. An updated CV, 2 additional letters of reference, and copies of USMLE scores will also be required.
