All applications must be submitted exclusively via the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS).  

All prospective applicants are required to meet the eligibility criteria for obtaining medical licensure in the State of Oregon. Graduates from foreign medical schools should reach out to the OHSU's GME Office   to confirm eligibility.

Your completed Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) application for a radiation oncology residency should include a thorough Curriculum Vitae highlighting academic accomplishments and clinical experiences, along with strong letters of recommendation from radiation oncologists and other faculty members. It also includes a compelling personal statement that demonstrates a genuine passion for the field and your Medical School Performance Evaluation (Dean's Letter).

International medical graduates will also need to provide a ECFMG (Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates) Certification as part of their application. 

To apply to the Radiation Oncology Residency Program:

• Submit a completed application via Electronic Residency Application System 
• Register for the National Resident Matching Program

We appreciate your interest in our Radiation Oncology Residency Program. This year (2023), the program will not be recruiting for new training positions, but we have plans to recruit for two new training positions during the 2024-2025 recruitment season. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Education Coordinator.

The selection process does not have any minimum board scores or grades. Applicants must graduate from an approved school of medicine or osteopathy with post-internship training. Applicants must also maintain good academic standing and must have taken USMLE Step 1. At this time, the submission of an application does not require prior completion of USMLE Step 2 or USMLE Step 3.

Please review OHSU's policy, GME 33 - USMLE-COMLEX Policy, for additional guidance.

Applicants must successfully complete all United States Medical Licensing Examination requirements. Foreign medical graduates must complete all Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) requirements. There is no minimum ECFME Score.

Applicants must be legally able to work in the United States or eligible to obtain work authorization. Applicants who are not U.S. citizens must be legally able to work in the U.S. or eligible to obtain authorization to work. 

Pre-employment drug screening is required. A negative drug screen (including THC, the active ingredient in marijuana) is required to finalize employment.

The Radiation Oncology Residency Program currently does not provide a PGY-1 internship. We do not mandate a specific clinical internship; instead, we require an ACGME-approved program. The application process is separate from our residency program.
