Match
Applicants to our program have two match options positions through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP).
We offer 7- PGY1 positions in our traditional five-year track and 1 research position in our six-year research track.
The Allen Fellowship six-year track includes a protected year prior to the intern year to concentrate on research, free from clinical duties.
Applicants may rank the two tracks in any order they please. The purpose of the separate matches is to give as much control to the applicant as possible and to allow the applicant ample time to plan and prepare for the Allen Fellowship year.

Policy on Hiring Non-Tobacco Users
University Hospitals is committed to the health and wellness of our employees, our patients and our community. As part of these efforts, effective January 1, 2012, we will only hire candidates that do not use tobacco products. All candidates will be required to confirm their non-tobacco use when expressing interest for a job opportunity. Selected candidates for hire will be tested for tobacco use as part of the pre-employment lab screening process already in place.
For Foreign/United States Medical School Graduates
It is hospital policy to comply with the immigration laws of the United States, and all residents must obtain and maintain an immigration status that permits employment by the hospital in a clinical capacity. It is a requirement that an International Medical Graduate (IMG) hold a valid certificate from the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG). If, at any time, a resident fails to timely obtain or retain the requisite visa status from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) (formerly the Immigration and Naturalization Service) the resident will be subject to dismissal or leave of absence, with or without pay, at the discretion of the Director of GME, in view of all the surrounding circumstances.
