Applying for Radiology Residency Program

Applications to the Program in Diagnostic Radiology are made through the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) in March approximately 15 months before the starting date on July 1st.

Applications must be submitted before November 1st of the corresponding match year. No applications will be considered if submitted after November 1st.

On the basis of the submitted application, approximately 65 candidates are selected for personal interviews. Each completed application is carefully reviewed. Applicants will be notified as soon as possible by mail for an interview date in December or January. (Interviewing) For a variety of reasons, applicants may be asked to arrange travel plans on short notice.

Residents are chosen on the basis of their medical training, general achievements, and personal qualities. No preference is given to any particular medical school or geographic area, nor is race, sex, or national origin a consideration.

The Department participates in the AAMC Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). The following components of the application should be submitted through ERAS and are essential in order to complete the application:
  • Universal Residency Application, including:
    • Personal Statement
    • Curriculum Vitae
  • Dean's Letter
  • USMLE Board Scores
  • 3 Letters of Recommendation
  • Transcript
International medical graduates are made aware of the restrictive provisions of Public Law 94-484, the Health Professions Education Assistance Act. The following conditions must be met:
  1. Standard ECFMG certificate
  2. Completion of an accredited internship in the United States
  3. Eligibility for ECFMG visa sponsorship if candidate does not have permanent status in the United States
If a request for an interview has not been received from us by mid December, it is very unlikely that an applicant will be interviewed. Our program coordinator, can be contacted at 617-724-4255 in the event that personal circumstances demand direct information.
