Application Requirements

Residency applications for the Anesthesiology Residency Program are submitted via Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS).

The Anesthesiology Residency Program at UVM Medical Center participates in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP).

To our 2025-2026 applicants:

This year we will only be using ERAS for review of applications. 

We are following recommendations from the Coalition for Physician Responsibility and Association of Anesthesiology Core Program Directors (AACPD) to promote equity and access, and our program will have all virtual interviews again this season.

Materials required from all applicants are:

• ERAS application
• Personal Statement
• Dean's Letter/MSPE
• Transcripts
• A minimum of three (3) recent letters of reference from direct supervisors.
• Successful completion of both Steps 1 and 2 of the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) or both Steps 1 and 2 of the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX-USA - NBOME). Note: Applications will not be reviewed until either USMLE Step2 or COMLEX Step2 scores are submitted.

International applicants must:

• Have a J-1 Visa or have a U.S. citizen Permanent Resident status. No other Visas will be accepted. (H1B are not eligible.) 
• Have graduated from medical school within the last two years.
• Prior to appointment, have a current certificate from the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG).
• Have worked in clinical medicine in the United States within the last two years.
  NOTE: An observership does not fulfill this requirement.

Application components and deadline

All components of the application must be received by December 31^st. Although December 31^st is the official deadline, for best consideration, please have all application materials submitted by early October. 

Interview Day

The Department of Anesthesiology invites applicants to interview on Wednesdays, from November through January. We will conduct all of our interviews virtually through our online scheduling and interview platform, Thalamus. The interview sessions will include a virtual “resident hangout” the evening before the interview day.

On the interview day, you will interview with the Program Director, several faculty members and a current resident. We will have both morning and afternoon interview sessions available to accommodate applicants in various time zones.

There is the possibility of an optional in-person second look after interviews are completed. We will update all interviewed applicants at that time.

We look forward to meeting our applicants!
