Residency Application Instructions

This program has eight positions available, each offered through the Match at the G-1 level.

The University of Minnesota program consists of an internship year in General Surgery at the University of Minnesota and four years of clinical Orthopaedic Surgery, designed to meet the requirements established by the American Board of Orthopaedic surgery and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.

The University of Minnesota Department of Orthopaedic Surgery is again this year participating in the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). You will need to submit your application electronically via your Dean's Office Workstation or, if you are a foreign medical graduate, via the ECFMG. More information about applying electronically is available through the ERAS web page (www.aamc.org/eras).

We recommend that you complete your electronic application and have it transmitted to us as soon as possible. The electronic applications (application form, transcript, personal statement and three letters of recommendation) will be reviewed as they are received. Test scores (NBME, FLEX, USMLE, ECFMG) if taken, are required.

Your complete electronic application should be available to us no later than November 1, 2007. A limited number of applicants will be invited to interview on December 14, 2007 and January 11, 2008.

We look forward to receiving your application electronically. If you have any questions, please e-mail Betsy Wehrwein at wehrw005@umn.edu or call at (612) 273-8043. We appreciate your interest in our program.
