Applying to the Program back to main page
Thank you for your
interest in the Loyola University Medical Center Radiation Oncology
Residency Training Program. This year we will again be participating in
the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). Your application should
be accompanied by your curriculum vitae, medical school transcripts, three
letters of reference, and a personal statement. The Dean's Letter from your
medical school
should be released and downloaded to ERAS on November 1st.
Explain any interruptions in your education. Tell us
why you have chosen radiation oncology as your specialty. The selection
committee is most interested in what special qualities and experiences you
have and what you hope to do with your radiation oncology training. The
personal statement helps us to know you, and we read it with great care.
Your completed application will be
thoroughly reviewed by the Program Director and several faculty members
chosen for the selection committee. Interviews will be by invitation sent
via e-mail. There will be 2-3 interview sessions in late 2009 for the 2011 positions with
approximately 8 applicants interviewed per session. Each interview day begins at 7:00 a.m.
with a Grand Rounds presentation. The interviews begin immediately
following Grand Rounds at 8:00 a.m. You should expect to be here until
approximately 2:30 p.m. The day consists of meetings with various faculty
and residents and a tour of the Loyola University Medical Center and the adjacent Hines VA campus. Continental
breakfast and lunch will be served.
We typically have one to two PGY
openings per year through the NRMP. We will have two PGY-2 positions open for
2011.
If you have any questions,
please contact Vera Wilt, Residency Coordinator, at either 708.216.2687 or vwilt@lumc.edu.
Deadline for receipt of all application materials is November.
