How to Apply


Applying to the Orthopedic Surgery Residency

Thank you for your interest in Loyola Medicine's Orthopedic Surgery Residency program. Our program only accepts applications through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS), and all positions are filled through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). 

Applications will be reviewed, and selected applicants will be invited for an interview. Please respond promptly to interview request, as an invitation to interview does not guarantee an interview spot.

Applicants will be interviewed virtually on December 12, 2024 and January 9, 2025.

Our deadline for applications is November 1, 2024 for the PGY-1 residency starting in July, 2025.

We will be recruiting five candidates for the 2025 PGY-1 level.
