Interviewing

To decrease applicant costs during interview season and improve equity in the application process, 果冻影院 will be conducting residency interviews virtually. Applicants who are invited to interview will receive further information regarding interview scheduling.

We encourage applicants to visit Milwaukee if they are able and are happy to provide recommendations about where to stay and what to do while here. However, to ensure fair recruitment practices, program personnel cannot facilitate or arrange meetings or hospital tours with residents or faculty.

Frequently Asked Questions

all
What is required to apply?

All applications go through ERAS and follow its requirements, including:

  • CV
  • Medical school transcript
  • MSPE
  • Personal statement
  • Letters of recommendation (minimum of three, four preferred)
  • STEP or COMLEX Scores

What is your program application deadline?
Deadline for receipt of full application for consideration for interview is November 1 each year.
Do you have a year of graduation limit as I graduated more than 5 years ago?
We do not have a defined limit. Experiences will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Do you have a minimal 鈥渃ut off鈥� Step 1 score? What about USMLE Step 2CK minimum scores?
Our suggested minimum score in 230 on first attempt for Step 2, but we review applications holistically. We do not automatically filter or screen out applications based on a minimum Step 1 (for those who took it prior to pass/fail) or Step 2 score.
Is there an attempt limit on Step 2 CK?
Generally, one attempt.
By time of application, do I need to have Step 2 CK in hand?
No, but it should be added to your ERAS application when it is available, and we strongly prefer that a Step 2 CK score is available before we finalize our rank list. International graduates will also need this to get an ECMFG certificate.
Do you sponsor H1-B visas?
Yes.
Do you accept J1 visa?
Yes, but no moonlighting is allowed.
How many total residents are in your program?

We have 84 residents for the 2024-2025 academic year:

  • 20 PGY-1 (including one combined Pediatrics-Anesthesiology resident)
  • 22 PGY-2/CA-1 (including one combined Pediatrics-Anesthesiology resident)
  • 20 PGY-3/CA-2
  • 22 PGY-4/CA-3 (including one combined Pediatrics-Anesthesiology resident)

Do you accept IMG at your program?
Yes.
What is the number of International Medical Graduates in your program?
10, as of the 2024-2025 academic year.
Is there a required USCE duration for applying to your program and is it mandatory for application to be reviewed?
There is no required duration of US clinical experience to apply to begin as a PGY1.
By time of application, do you need me to have my ECFMG certificate in hand?

No, but if you successfully match with us, you must have your ECFMG reported prior to July 1 of the year you will be starting your residency with us.

Please see the for more information.

What application service do you use?
For the 2025 Match application cycle, we are only using the ERAS application service.
Can I apply for more than one position type?

Yes.

  • Applicants interested in a research position can apply to both the Categorical and Categorical-Research tracks to be considered for either position.
  • Applicants interested in our Combined Pediatrics-Anesthesiology position can also apply to a Categorical Anesthesiology and/or Pediatrics residency.
  • Applicants who have completed at least one year of residency training (intern, transitional, or preliminary year) can apply to both the Reserved and Categorical tracks. Due to the limited number of Reserved positions both in our program and nationwide, this is recommended if you are willing to repeat an intern year to enter the field of Anesthesiology. 果冻影院 has no funding limitations that would prevent a resident from repeating an intern year.
What kinds of positions do you offer in the Match (categorical, reserved, etc.)?

In the 2025 Match cycle, we are offering:

  • Eighteen Categorical positions (to start as a PGY-1 in 2025) – NRMP Program Code 1784040C0
  • One Categorical-Research position (to start as a PGY-1 in 2025) – NRMP Program Code 1784040C2
  • Two Reserved positions (to start as a PGY-2 in 2025) – NRMP Program Code 1784040R0. Please note you must have previously completed an intern, transitional, or preliminary year in order to apply for this track.
  • One Combined Pediatrics-Anesthesiology position (to start as a PGY-1 in 2025) – NRMP Program Code 1784726C0

We do not offer Advanced Positions (i.e., to start as a PGY-2 in 2026)
