Application Process

Thank you for your interest in the ACGME accredited Categorical Dermatology Residency Program at the University of Arizona. We offer a three-year program that leads to eligibility for certification by the American Board of Dermatology. Candidates for certification are required to have a total of four years of postgraduate training which would include one year post-graduate training in our internal medicine residency. Qualifications for admission to the Residency Program include:

  • The successful completion of medical school.
  • US citizenship or a valid visa, or J1 visa. This program does not support H1-B visas.
  • Graduates of foreign medical schools must provide proof of having passed the FMGEMS exam, a copy of the FMGEM scores and a copy of the Standard ECFMG Certificate
  • All accepted candidates must obtain an Arizona medical training license
  • Application Process:

The following is a list of documentation required when submitting your application:

  • ERAS common Application
  • CV
  • 3 Letters of Reference
  • USMLE scores
  • Medical school transcript
  • Dean’s Letter of Support
  • Personal statement

Applications will be reviewed through ERAS. All documentation should be uploaded to ERAS by November 1 of the application year. Applicants can begin uploading their application materials into ERAS after October 1 of the application year. Interviews will be held in January. You will need to contact your medical school Dean's Office to access the MyERAS web-based application.

The matching program for Dermatology will coincide with the regular National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). The match, which takes place each March, selects residents to begin training July of the same year (i.e. in March 2013 we will pick residents to begin PGY-1 in July 2013).

Beginning in academic year 2012-2013, the dermatology residency program will be a categorical match with the PGY-1 year to occur at the University of Arizona in Internal Medicine followed by three years of Dermatology.

Candidates invited to interview will be contacted via email.
