Our program utilizes ERAS® (Electronic Residency Application Service) for the application process. Please contact your medical school of graduation for ERAS® information and packet application. If you are an international medical graduate, please contact your local Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) office for more information on ERAS®. Paper applications are not accepted.
A preliminary review of each application will be made upon receipt of a complete application and will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications should consist of all ERAS® materials and should include medical school transcripts, USMLE score – Part 1, and personal statement. Letters of recommendation from three board-certified U.S. surgeons who are familiar with your work are required. The Dean’s letter is not required for initial review.
After the selection committee has reviewed your completed file, you will be contacted through ERAS. Whether you have been selected for an interview, put on the waitlist or declination of an interview, you will receive contact from the program.
In accordance with the AAMC guidelines, we will be planning a hybrid schedule for our interview dates. In-person interviews will be held on Friday, November 22nd and Tuesday, November 26th. Virtual interviews will be held on Friday, December 13th. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Urology Residency Program Coordinator, Angela Colbeck at cangela@wustl.edu.
