Residency Program Applications
Applications
Virtual interviews for our program will occur on select Tuesdays and Thursdays in November and December for applicants invited to interview.
The OHSU EM Residency program will be participating in the Unified Interview Release Date sponsored by the CORDEM County Programs Community of Practice for the 2024-2025 application cycle. Initial interview invitation notifications will be released to select applicants on October 16, 2024, at 7pm EST.
Applicants placed on the waitlist for an interview will be notified throughout the cycle if a space becomes available.
There are so many amazing students who apply to our residency, and although we would love to meet as many as we can, due to the sheer volume of interest, we do limit our invitations to a select group of applicants. We look forward to reviewing your materials. If at any point after the MSPEs are available, you receive a new SLOE, please email the Senior Education Manager, Kim Regner regner@ohsu.edu

Notes
We encourage early submission of application material. Although this will not guarantee selection for an interview, we tend to have the most scheduling flexibility earliest in the interview season. As research has shown (AEM 2000;7(9):1022-6.) that the date of an interview does not influence the ultimate ranking of the applicant, it is to the applicant's advantage (in regards to greater scheduling flexibility) to submit his/her materials early.
