Applications

Albert Einstein Medical Center’s Radiology Residency Program participates in the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). Complete applications require a Dean’s letter and transcript, United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Part 1, transcript and three [3] letters of recommendation. Although the application deadline is December 1, 2009, please keep in mind that most interview invitations are sent out well before that date.

Interviews

Selected applicants are invited to visit Albert Einstein Medical Center for a personal interview. We make every effort for those who are applying to the combined Transitional/Radiology Program from out of the area to combine the interviews for both the Transitional Program and the Radiology Residency on the same day but this is not always possible.

Interview invitations are usually not offered until late October or November. Interview invitations are then offered on a rolling basis through e-mail. Based on past experience, the interview slots fill very, very quickly. If you receive an invitation, please follow the instructions carefully about setting up an appointment as quickly as you can.

We do maintain a “wait list” of invited interview applicants. We do that because it offers interested applicants the best opportunity to see our Program over the course of an interview season. It has been our experience that most applicants on our wait list will receive an invitation to interview.

We do not routinely send out interview rejection notices as all interview invitations are on a rolling basis. Once the interview process is completed, and it is time to submit the rank-order list for the Match, we do not – as a matter of routine – send out “letters of interest” in an effort to influence applicants’ rank order lists. If you have a question about the status of your application relative to an interview invitation, contact us at radiology@einstein.edu.
