Applicant Information

Starting in 2019, we began offering TWO positions through the NRMP match. One is designated for family or internal medicine candidates, and the second for pediatric candidates.

Note: For the 2021 Match (2020-2021 application season), all interviews will be conducted virtually. For more information about training programs at the University of Washington and life in Seattle, please visit the UW Graduate Medical Education website for prospective residents and fellows.

The University of Washington participates in the ERAS system for application submission and in the NRMP Primary Care Sports Medicine Matching Program. Our program considers applicants who have trained in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, or Pediatric residencies. Our applicant review committee considers qualified applicants who complete the application process as outlined by ERAS, and applications are only reviewed once all materials have been submitted. Personal interviews are required and application deadlines strictly adhered to; failure to meet the specified dates may eliminate the candidate from consideration.
