Guidelines for Selection

We take one categorical resident into our program each year. These individuals generally come from medical schools within the United States.

  • All applications for PGY-1 positions in the program are accepted through ERAS.
  • The application deadline is December 1 of each year. A completed application includes a standard ERAS application, a medical school transcript, a medical student performance evaluation, USMLE scores, a personal statement and at least 3 letters of recommendation (preferably one from an IR clinician). Applicants selected for an on-campus interview will be invited via email.
  • Selection for interviews are made based upon the following criteria:
    • Academic performance in medical school
    • Interpersonal and communication skills
    • Motivation to pursue a career in interventional radiology
    • Past work/volunteer experience
    • Publication experience
    • Research experience
    • USMLE performance
    • A commitment to complete the entire residency program
  • Candidates must meet UAMS institutional requirements for appointment as a resident physician.
  • Candidates are informed of terms and conditions of appointment in their interview invite email as well as by hardcopy at the time of interview.
  • All PGY-1 positions are offered in the NRMP match. PGY-1 positions unfilled in the NRMP match may be filled in the NRMP SOAP process.
