Selection Policy Process & Interview Day
We offer an equal opportunity selection process for all applicants who meet the minimum requirements as stated above. Complete applications submitted through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) are reviewed by the program directors and interviews are extended to selected applicants.
Selection Criteria for Interviewing Applicants
The rheumatology faculty, in a joint meeting, reviews applicants who meet the criteria. Based on the quality of the application and academic credentials, the applicant is subsequently invited for an interview.
Interview Day
On the interview day, applicants receive an information packet and interview with members of the Division of Rheumatology. At the conclusion of the interview, the interviewers complete a standard evaluation form for each applicant they interviewed. The results are tallied and form the basis of the rank order.
Interview Process
Applicants chosen for the interview process will meet with attending physicians and fellows within our program. Impressions gained from the interview and the applicant’s ERAS file will help in determining the order in which we rank our candidates through the National Residency Matching Program.
The University of Utah Graduate Medical Education Committee requires that fellows have a Utah Medical License and ACLS certification. Fellows who are not currently certified in ACLS must become so within six months of commencing their training.
