Application to Albert Einstein Medical Center's (AEMC) Ob/Gyn residency program is accepted through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) hosted by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). For US medical students, ERAS may be accessed via your medical school Dean's Office.  For international medical graduates, ERAS may be accessed via the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG).

Osteopathic Students may apply to the AEMC Ob/Gyn residency program via Einstein's AOA Traditional Rotating Internship and participate in the AOA Match or may elect to apply to the categorical Ob/Gyn residency program and participate in the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP). DO candidates interested in receiving AOA credit for the internship year concurrent with full PGY-1 credit for the categorical Ob/Gyn residency program, should discuss this in detail with the Program Director during your interview day and plan to participate in the AOA Match in lieu of the NRMP.  

Frequently Asked Questions

How many positions are being offered by your program this year?

There are currently four (4) PGY-1 positions for the upcoming Match.

What is the deadline for applying to Einstein's Ob/Gyn residency program?

The deadline for applications is the Friday of the first week in January of the Match year.

How do I apply?

All applications must be submitted through ERAS. For osteopathic applicants, you may apply via ERAS to the AEMC traditional rotating internship program.

When are interviews scheduled?

Interviews are held starting in October and run through the end of January.  Applicants interested in a "second look" after formal interview day, will be accommodated whenever possible upon request.

Do you accept applications from international medical graduates (IMGs)? 

Yes, applications are accepted from IMGs.  ECFMG certification and USMLE 1, USMLE 2 CK and CS must be obtained by the end of January of the Match year.  All required exams must have a PASSING score, but no minimum score is required for application. Prior US clinical experience is not essential. There is no requirement on the time from medical school graduation to application. AEMC sponsors both H-1B clinical and J-1 visas; all related fees are the responsibility of the incoming resident (including the anti-fraud fee). If an applicant wishes to enter the Ob/Gyn program on an H-1B clinical visa, completion and passage of USMLE 3 also is required prior to January of the Match year.

Do you offer pre-Match positions?

The Ob/Gyn residency program prefers to fill all of its spots through the NRMP (or AOA) match. All fourth year US medical students must participate in a national matching program according to NRMP and AOA guidelines.   

Do you offer observerships?

Due to the busy nature of our services and teams, we do not offer observerships.
