PATHOLOGY RESIDENCY PROGRAM

Pathology Residency Application Overview

We will be accepting applications through the AAMC's computerized ERAS (Electronic Residency Application System) for July 2010 on September 1, 2009. Access can be obtained at http://www.aamc.org/eras.


All of their deadlines, etc. will be used but our deadline is that we must have all applications by November 20,2009 to be considered and ranked for the Spring 2010 match. International medical graduates who wish a first-year position outside of the match will only be considered post-match. We do not use any minimum USMLE score other than passage of each part within 3 attempts (Texas State Board regulations). We select residents based upon the complete CV.  We do not require that an applicant complete a pathology rotation.  However, if a rotation has been completed, applicants are encouraged to include a letter of recommendation from a supervising faculty member from that rotation.  Applications other than from ERAS (universal forms, etc.) will be considered only secondary to the ERAS applications. For more information regarding international medical graduates, please go here


All applications will be reviewed by the residency committee, and candidates who meet our qualifications will be invited for an interview.


The residency program is fully accredited for 16 positions. Clinical and research fellowships are also offered. Three positions are routinely available each year for residents.
