The Division of Pediatric Surgery at the University of Louisville participates in the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) developed by the Association of American Medical Colleges. This service transmits residency applications, letters of recommendation, and other supporting credentials from the applicants and their general surgery training programs via the Internet.

Entry qualifications include the completed residency application, satisfactory completion of a five-year ACGME-accredited program in General Surgery, letters of recommendation from individuals who can speak to the applicant's unique qualifications to become a pediatric surgeon, and receipt of USMLE and ABSITE scores.

Application materials are reviewed and approximately 20 applicants are invited to interview on one of several interview days. Each applicant meets with all faculty members and the current fellow. The process is then completed via the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP).

The Division of Pediatric Surgery at the University of Louisville is an equal opportunity employer. Decisions regarding interviewing and ranking of applicants are made without regard to age, sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnic background.
