- OBGYN will again be adopting Standards to the OBGYN application and Interview Process which include application deadlines, common interview release dates, and virtual interviews for applicants. You may view the participating programs here. The list will be finalized by Aug 31.
- OBGYN will be participating in Program Signaling through the Supplemental ERAS Application. OBGYN will not be requiring, nor reviewing any of the supplemental information, except for the program signals. In addition, some OBGYN residency programs will be requiring Altus Assessments (no fee to applicants). Therefore, it is recommended that all OBGYN applicants register for and participate in Altus Assessments for this cycle, as the results take time to process and deliver to your programs. One Standardized Letter of Evaluation (SLOE) should be included in applicants’ ERAS packages and will replace one of the ERAS letters of recommendation (LoR) or the Chair’s letter.
- The Alignment Check Index (ACI) will be available on the AMA FREIDA website in July 2022 for applicants and advisors to help explore applicant alignment with residency programs. The ACI tool is intended to complement personal advising and other current tools available to applicants.
- Information on the above and other resources are available on the APGO’s Right Resident, Right Program, Ready Day One: Applicant Resources webpage.
- Please download the RRR App for the most updated information on the OBGYN residency and interview process.
