Resident Recruitment Update: Record year for UC Irvine

The Department of Anesthesiology & Perioperative Care at UC Irvine is seeing the best resident recruitment season in its history with more than 60 applicants for each residency position offered. This follows the June 2009 announcement that we are now a 4-year program with 5-year accreditation.     

As a group, the medical students applying to our department this year represent the strongest pool in the history of our program. Indeed, twenty one (25%) are AOA and all have outstands scores.  Moreover, while in the past 60-70% of our applicant pool has come from the Western Region, this year applicants come from strong medical schools across the country. Cornell, Columbia, NYU, University of Miami, John Hopkins, Penn State, Emory, Baylor, Wake Forest, University of Michigan, Stanford, and UCSF are just a few of the outstanding schools represented.                 

Prospective residents who interview with us will find a truly unique residency program that offers exposure to the newest technology, broad clinical experience, a progressive resident well-being curriculum, and multiple leadership opportunity through our advanced academic tracks and general program. Those who join our program will also find themselves working with some of the finest residents and faculty in the country.
