Applicant Information

We offer two positions through the NRMP match. One is designated for family or internal medicine candidates, and the second for pediatric candidates.

We use the ERAS system, and our internal application deadline is: September 30th
Applications received after this date may not be reviewed.

Once your application is submitted, it will be reviewed by the selection committee. Qualified applicants selected to interview will be contacted by email with a formal interview offer and to arrange the details of the interview schedule.

Interview format

All interviews will be conducted on site at the UW Sports Medicine Center at Husky Stadium, usually in October and November. In advance of your interview, we encourage all applicants to watch the videos on our fellowship website to view and learn about our program and its facilities.

We use the ERAS application for all applicants. We require 3 letters of recommendation, including one from your residency program director. At least one letter from a sports medicine (CAQ) faculty is preferred.

Applications will be considered for interviews only after the ERAS application, including the personal statement and three letters of recommendation, has been received. Upon invitation to interview, you will be expected to sign and return the AMSSM Code of Ethics for the Match prior to interviewing.

Please send your Code of Ethics for the Match and any other supplemental application materials outside of ERAS to uwsportsmed@uw.edu.
