First Look at UVA – September 15, 2018

First Look at UVA is designed for 3rd and 4th year medical students who are interested in learning more about training at UVA Medical Center. This day is planned for students who are a member of any group historically underrepresented in Medicine, as well as anyone with a passion for increasing the diversity of our physician workforce.

The GME Office and Housestaff Council for Diversity and Inclusion are sponsoring the First Look event during the recruitment season to give applicants an opportunity to openly ask questions about our training programs and about living in Charlottesville.

If you’re interested in attending, please register through this link.

We accept applications only through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). A complete application includes:

NRMP application form
Medical School Dean’s Letter
United States Medical Licensing Exam Scores
(Step 1 required, Step 2 optional)
Medical School Transcripts
Three letters of recommendation (two letters from Emergency Medicine faculty preferred)
Personal Statement

We do accept J-1 Visas.

Once a complete application has been received through ERAS, a selection committee will review it. Interviews are by invitation only and will be scheduled on Wednesdays and Fridays between October 2016 and January 2017.

INTERVIEWS

Night Before

There will be an optional dinner social event at one of the outstanding Charlottesville restaurants/bars the night before each interview session. The dinners generally start at 7pm and are always casual attire. They are typically either on the historic downtown pedestrian mall or on ‘The Corner’ which is across from the hospital grounds.

As your specific interview day approaches, one of the resident recruitment chairs will send you more detailed information. If you have any questions prior to then, please don’t hesitate to contact either Austin, Erin, Azhar, or Camerone.
