Acting Internships are reserved for students that intend to apply to a UH Geauga Medical Center residency program (Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation or Podiatry). Acting Internships are limited, please submit your request early. Applications must be received a minimum of 60 days prior to your requested rotation date. If your application is accepted, you will be responsible to return all additional paperwork sent with your acceptance letter no later than 30 days prior to your start date. Failure to meet this deadline will result in your acceptance being revoked.

Elective rotations will be considered once all Acting Internships slots have been scheduled and filled.

Rotations may be 2 or 4 weeks (preferred) in duration. PM&R and Family Medicine rotations will only be offered in 2 week blocks.

Applications will begin to be reviewed for most programs on February 1. PM&R applications will be reviewed beginning in May and Internal Medicine applications will be reviewed between April 1 and May 1. All applications will be evaluated in the order in which they are received. You will be notified within 2 weeks of your submission of our decision. All acceptance letters will be sent via email to the address provided on your application. Please allow a minimum of 10 business days before contacting the program for a response.

Once your completed application is approved and you are notified by UH Geauga Medical Education Department, you will have 1 week to accept the rotation. Once accepted, the dropping of the rotation should only be done in extreme circumstances. If such circumstances should occur, please contact Sarah.Majkrzak@Uhhospitals.org.
