Application to the

Occupational Medicine Residency Training Program

at the University of Cincinnati

The University of Cincinnati’s Occupational Medicine Residency Training Program (OMRTP) includes both PGY-2 (primarily academic) and PGY-3 (practicum) years. Applicants must have a PGY-1 (clinical year) before admission to the OMRTP. The PGY-1 year must be completed at an Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) approved program. The recommended areas are Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, or Emergency Medicine.

International graduates must pass the TOEFL and GRE before an application package for the OMRTP will be sent. The minimum passing score for the TOEFL is 580, and for the GRE it is 1500.

The OMRTP does not participate in the Match program. First offers of admission traditionally are made December 15th. After that date, the program has a rolling admissions policy based on available positions. Applications are reviewed as files are completed.

A completed application will include:

• 3 letters of recommendation
• a statement of personal goals
• a reference letter from the applicant’s medical school’s dean
• transcripts of all prior course work
• a curriculum vitae

All applications are initially reviewed by the program director. Selected applicants will be offered an interview with at least 3 faculty members and several current residents. Generally, 3 full time residency positions are available each year, and part-time and some one-year positions are also available. Residency positions generally begin on July 1st, but on occasion residents start at other times.  Classes at the University of Cincinnati usually start in late September.
