How to Apply
Each year, the Triple Board Residency Program offers PGY-1 positions. All positions are filled through the National Resident Matching Program and applications are accepted only through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS)®, which transmits residency applications, letters of recommendation, dean's letters, transcripts, and other supporting credentials to residency program directors.
Applications must be received by the Residency Training Office by December 15 of the year prior to the scheduled starting of PGY-1 year.
Required application materials to be submitted to ERAS include:
- ERAS online application form
- Personal Statement (please limit to one page)
- Dean's letter
- Medical school transcript
- Three letters of recommendation
- Curriculum vitae
- USMLE or COMLEX score reports
- ECFMG certificate, if applicable
International Medical Graduate Requirements
Applications will only be accepted through ERAS. International Medical Graduates should apply through the ECFMG office - see instructions at www.aamc.org or contact the ECFMG office for further information.
In general, most of the international medical graduates we interview meet the following requirements:
- Green card, J-1 visa (not sponsored) or documentation of US citizenship
- Valid ECFMG certificate with clinical skills assessment certification
- Evidence of a minimum of one year of clinical experience in the United States including two letters of recommendation from academic physicians with whom you have worked
Interview Process
We conduct two-day interviews virtually: Mondays with Adult and Child Psychiatry and Tuesdays with Pediatrics. Interviews are scheduled from November 1 through mid-January. We encourage early interviews as the calendar fills up quickly, particularly during December and January.
The University of Utah School of Medicine does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, age, religion, color, national origin, disability or veteran's status.
For any additional questions about the application process, please contact the Program Manager via email at: Jessie.Skriner@hsc.utah.edu
Medical Student Elective (Triple Board)
An elective rotation is not required, but is encouraged. An elective rotation is a great way to ascertain whether or not the program is a good fit. Also, a rotation allows for close interaction with residents and faculty, providing a great opportunity for networking and letters of recommendation.
Rotations must be scheduled well in advance with the University of Utah School of Medicine and the Triple Board Training Program. An application must be submitted in writing or via email. For more information about a medical student elective, contact the Medical Student Program Manager, Lindsay.Clark@hsc.utah.edu.
