The Match requires that each Residency program provide complete and accurate information to interviewees, including:

1. A copy of the Resident Position Appointment that the applicant will sign if matched to the program and,
2. Institutional Policies on Selection for a residency or fellowship position

This information must be communicated to interviewees prior to the rank order list deadline with a signed acknowledgement. Hard copies are available at the time of your interview by request.

We are a NIH training grant site -- We have additional requirements to supply information about the NIH Payback agreement. The residency encompasses 6 years with 1-2 years of dedicated research as part of a NIH training grant (T32). Participation in the training grant is required of all applicants accepted to the program. The NIH training grant provides a stipend for research opportunities. At the time of enrollment in the training grant year(s), the applicant must sign a Payback Agreement with subsequent payback documented by an annual Payback Certificate. Please review the NIH Grants policy statements, training forms and termination notice before your interview date. We would welcome any questions about our training grant at any time.

NIH policy requires “payback” for the first year spent on an NIH training grant.  The following options are acceptable:

1. A second year on the NIH training grant.
2. Documented research experience subsequent to the first year but not on the NIH training grant.  In our program, there are four months of research in the PGY3 year.
3. Taking an academic position upon graduation from the residency.
4. You must begin to undertake the payback service requirement within 2 years after the termination date of the training grant support unless an extension of time to begin payback has been approved by the NIH.  Payback service is certified through the use of the Annual Payback Activities Certification (APAC) (Form PHS 6031-1).  Individuals with an outstanding payback obligation must complete an APAC annually until their payback obligation is fulfilled.
