Marshall General Surgery Residency
2023 Match Recruitment Commitment

For the 2023 Match Season, we will be recruiting four categorical and three preliminary general surgery positions. Following the recommendations of the Association of Program Directors in Surgery for the 2022-2023 application cycle, we will release invitations on October 26th via ERAS at Noon EST and allow a 48-hour response time.

Two sessions of virtual interviews will be held on each of the following dates:

• November 2nd and November 9th
• December 7th and December 14th
• January 11th and  January 18th
• February 8th

Virtual coffee hour will be offered the evening prior to interviews to provide an opportunity to meet our residents in a less formal experience. Attendance is optional.

Our Institution participates in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP Match); therefore, all applications are accepted through the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS). In addition to reviewing all aspects of applicants’ MyERAS required application, our Program will also be reviewing data from the optional Supplemental ERAS application in a holistic approach to recruitment this cycle.

Following the recommendations of the Association of Program Directors in Surgery Task Force for the 2022-2023 application cycle, we will release our first round of interview invitations on or about October 26th, and we will offer four interview events monthly from November through January with two in February. Our interviews will be held virtually, and we plan to offer an optional social gathering via Zoom to allow applicants an opportunity to meet our residents in a more relaxed atmosphere the evening before their interview.

Institutional requirements include ECFMG certification for IMG’s who are offered a contract, and J1 visas are accepted; no H1-B visas are sponsored.

Residency candidates are invited to interview with our residency program based on these criteria:

• Performance in medical school, as shown on their official transcript and dean's letter.

• Performance on the USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK examinations. (In line with the USMLE’s January 2022 decision, Step 1 transitioned from numeric scores to pass or fail outcomes only.) For Step 2 CK, our minimum score requirement is 225. Further, we review applicants who have failed once, if they have a make-up passing score (Step 1) or a minimum make-up Step 2 CK score of 225. 

• Graduation from medical school within the past two years.

• IMG’s having completed at least six months of clinical experience in the US.

Note: Matched candidates must complete and pass a mandatory drug screening and background check
