Notice to applicants.
The NRMP has found our
program in technical
violation of the Match
last year and this will
be indicated to you on
ERAS for the coming
year. We wanted to
explain the situation to
you. Our program was
awarded non-designated
preliminary general
surgery positions last
year by the RRC for
Surgery for the first
time ever. We did not
list these positions in
the Match, because we
did not accept
applications for them as
part of the match. These
positions were created
in order to provide
positions for
preliminary Urology
residents, as the
University of Louisville
had recently created a
Department of Urology
and has applied for a
Urology residency
program. However, these
positions should have
been listed in the Match
regardless, and now will
be. This constituted a
technical Match
violation, and is a
result of a
misunderstanding on the
part of the University
of Louisville House
Staff Office, the
Department of Urology,
and the Department of
Surgery regarding the
Match regulations. but
will not effect the
application process nor
the quality or integrity
of our General Surgery
Residency program. The
match violation red flag
will be removed in one
year. While we will
continue to do
everything possible to
ensure that we are in
compliance with the NRMP
regulations, please be
assured that this
technical violation has
no bearing on the
quality and integrity of
our outstanding
categorical General
Surgery Residency
Program. Thank you for
your interest in our
program. We will be
happy to answer any
questions regarding this
issue.
The 2008/2009 interview
dates will be held on:
Friday, October 31, 2008
Friday, November 21, 2008
Friday, January 9, 2009
The interview process begins at 6:30 a.m. and ends at approximately 3:00 p.m.
Candidates will have 3 one-on-one interviews with General Surgery Faculty
and small group interviews with Dr. Kelly McMasters, Chairman, Department of
Surgery. General Surgery Residents will accompany the residency candidates throughout the day
and will join them for lunch.
