Dear Residency Applicants:

Thank you for your interest in our brand-new Psychiatry Residency Program. We are no longer taking any applications for PGY 1 or PGY 2 positions this academic year, and we will participate in The National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) for the 2024-25 academic year.

All the applicants who are interested in our psychiatry residency program are required to email the following documents to residency program coordinator Ms. Rebecca Uhlman at  rebecca.uhlman@shoalshospital.com

We request the following documents

2. Three letters of recommendations
3. Dean's letter 
4. MSPE
5. Medical School Transcript
6. Medical School Diploma

9. ECFMG certificate (for IMGs)

PGY 2 Applicants: In addition to the above-mentioned documents, the following documents must be provided.

1. Summary of completed rotations from the current residency program.
2. Before we schedule an interview for a PGY2 position, the candidate must assure us that his or her current Program Director is aware of the candidate’s interest in applying to another program and has given the candidate permission to discuss a transfer to our program.
3. Internship/Prior GME certificate (if applying for PGY 2)
4. Letter from current program director.

For IMGs, we sponsor ECFMG sponsored J1 visa. We do not sponsor H1b visas.
