application and interview information
Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine Integrated Pediatric Program at Dayton Children’s Hospital/Wright Patterson Air Force Base has 49 residents (including our chief residents) with 16 residents per class. Through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), approximately eight categorical pediatric appointments are made to the PL-1 class every year. The other eight categorical positions are matched via the military system.
The WSUBSOM Integrated Pediatric/Dayton Children's residency program participates in ERAS (Electronic Residency Application Service). As part of your ERAS application, we ask for your USMLE score report, medical school transcript, dean’s letter, personal statement, and three letters of recommendation.
An ideal candidate would have:
• Finished medical school within the past four years (i.e. not out of clinical practice for an extended period)
• USMLE score above 230 and COMLEX above 430
• Above-average grades
• Permanent U.S. residence, U.S. citizenship or green card holder
• A definite commitment to pediatrics
International medical graduates are welcome to apply through ERAS. The same standards as above apply. We abide by Section 201 of the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine Resident & Fellow Manual (Residents Selection). (please link in a new tab/window: https://medicine.wright.edu/faculty-and-clinical-affairs/resident-manual/table-of-contents) In addition, International Medical Graduates need ECFMG certification.
We are conducting virtual interviews during the 2024-2025 application season. The Thalamus system will be utilized for scheduling and virtual interviews this year. Letters of invitation will be sent out by mid-September and applications will be accepted until December 7, 2024.
