The UNMC residency program utilizes the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) from the Association of American Medical Colleges. All applicants will need to contact their Dean's office and apply through the ERAS. Foreign medical students will need to contact the ECFMG. ERAS applications are reviewed by a committee composed of faculty and resident staff before an invitation to interview is offered. The Department accepts four residents each year, and all four positions are filled through the ERAS matching system.

In order for a residency application to be considered complete, the following items must be received by the UNMC Department of Orthopaedics:

1. An application form filed electronically through ERAS.

2. Three letters of recommendation (ERAS) – it is suggested that two of these letters should be from the medical school that you attended.

3. A letter of recommendation from the Dean of your medical School (ERAS).

4. Board Scores (USMLE) and transcripts (ERAS).

5. Curriculum Vitae (ERAS).

All applicants must follow the ERAS application process. There are no additional requirements.
