We are delighted that you are interested in our residency program. Each year we match 4 residents. Applications are submitted through the central application service (CAS)  of the San Francisco Matching Program (SF Match).

Requirements

Applications are accepted annually. Interviews will be conducted at USF Eye Institute in early December. Our deadline for receipt of materials from SF Match is October 15. We do not accept supplemental information.  We request that you provide us with a vision examination to include corrected and uncorrected visual acuity, if you are chosen to interview. To be considered, all candidates will require a personal interview at our Department. All applicants must be eligible for a Florida Medical License. Florida licensure or registration requires satisfactory completion of a PGY-1 (internship) in the United States or Canada.

Eligible applicants:

  • Graduates of colleges of osteopathic medicine in the United States accredited by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA).
  • Graduates of medical schools outside the United States and Canada who meet one of the following qualifications: have received a currently valid certificate from the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) or have a full and unrestricted license to practice medicine in a United States jurisdiction.
  • Graduates of medical schools outside the United Sates who have completed a Fifth Pathway program provided by an LCME accredited medical school.
