We only accept applications through ERAS and for applicants
registered for the NRMP Match. We look for candidates with excellent academic performance and a strong interest in pursuing pathology as the next step in their career.
Your application is complete when we receive the following through ERAS:
- ERAS Common Application Form (CAF)
- Personal Statement (1-2 pages)
- Official Medical School Transcripts
- Medical Student Performance Evaluation (Dean's Letter)
- Three Letters of Reference - from faculty members, mentors, or supervisors who can address your performance and
your commitment to the study of pathology
- USMLE Scores (or equivalent) - report for all steps taken as they become available
- International Medical Graduates (in addition):
- ECFMG Status Report
- Visa Status
We are frequently asked for specific criteria for International Medical Graduates. Historically, IMG candidates who have been invited to interview have had the following characteristics:
- USMLE Scores (all steps taken) above 200 (80) on the first attempt
- Pass on the CSA (Effective 1999)
- Medical school graduation less than 5 years ago
- At least one year paid experience within US medical system (preferably in pathology-related specialty) OR
post-MD study (PhD or Masters)
- J-1 Visas or US Naturalization (UW School of Medicine Policy)
For applicants who want to transfer from or have completed study in another specialty, and who are applying for a first-year
pathology position, you will need to apply through ERAS and enroll in the Match. One of your reference letters must be from
your current residency program director. If you are selected for interview, we will mail you our required Evaluation for Transfer to be completed by your current program director.
We receive approximately 300 applications and interview 50-60 candidates for 6-7 positions each year.
