Surgery Applicant InformationSurgery Residency Application Process
Applicants for our Surgery Residency Program must participate in the National Residency Matching Program. There are separate tracts for Categorical Surgery and Preliminary Surgery applicants. Our program only accepts applications via ERAS (the Electronic Residency Application Service) sponsored by the AAMC. Your dean's office will assist you in submitting your application and supporting documentation. We do require USMLE transcripts, as well as the computerized application, personal statement, CV, Dean's Letter, and three additional letters of recommendation from U.S. Board Certified physicians -- all via ERAS. Our ACGME program ID# is 440-47-11-320.
Before a resident can begin the Surgery Residency in Chattanooga, he/she must have passed USMLE Step 1 (minimum 200 score), USMLE Step 2 (minimum 200 score), and USMLE Step 2 Clinical Skills. Incoming residents who do not meet these requirements will not be able to start training.
Our program deadline for receiving applications (with the exception of Dean's Letter) is October 31.

Note: The Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners has adopted a list of medical schools recognized by the California Board of Medical Examiners. Graduates from schools not found on this list will not be eligible for medical license in Tennessee. The UT College of Medicine Chattanooga and its programs have determined that they will only consider applicants for student rotations or residency/fellowship application who are graduates of schools on this list so only those individuals would be eligible for medical license in Tennessee after completing residency. If your school is not on the California recognized list, you may ask your Dean's Office to contact the California Medical Board to determine the reason and the process of becoming recognized. The link to the recognized list is: http://www.mbc.ca.gov/applicant/schools_recognized.html.
