Application Information

Our program offers approximately 34 categorical and 9 preliminary positions annually.

We offer two tracks for categorical Internal Medicine applicants through the National Residency Matching Program:

• Categorical Medicine NRMP# 1722140C0
• Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Track NRMP# 1722140C4

Residency Program Options

For preliminary residents, there are two programs:

Med-Prelim/Ophthalmology NRMP# 1722140P4

Ophthalmology applicants who match to the Ophthalmology program at UT Health are eligible for this “linked” program. Ophthalmology preliminary residents have a curriculum in Ophthalmology during their ambulatory weeks and also have an elective in Ophthalmology in order to meet the new requirements for 3 months of Ophthalmology training during the PGY-1 year. There is no requirement for a separate interview specifically for the PGY-1 year.

Medicine-Preliminary NRMP# 1722140P0

Preliminary residents planning to seek advanced training in any specialty may apply for this preliminary track. The program during the  Preliminary Interview day  offers specific information about the curriculum for the PGY-1 year.

We accept applications only through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) offered by the American Association of Medical Colleges. We DO NOT accept applications outside of ERAS.

We require the following documentation with your ERAS application:
