In recruiting residents, we pay particular attention to the character of candidates with emphasis on a commitment to the principles of excellence, collegiality, and innovation.
The process for applying to the OU neurology residency program is as follows:
- We only receive applications through ERAS and we participate in the NRMP match
- The deadline for submission of applications is November 1
- Our program is categorical; residents who match in OU neurology are automatically accepted into OU internal medicine for the preliminary year
- For international medical graudates:
- No U.S. experience is required
- We sponsor J1 visas, but not H1B visas
- One cannot begin residency with an EAD-candidates may apply with an EAD, but must have either a green card or visa prior to starting the residency
- We give priority to interviewing candidates who pass the following screening criteria:
- USMLE step 1 with passing score on first attempt
- USMLE step 2 greater than 230
- Evidence of interest in neurology, for example,
- Research in a neurologic field
- Publications in a neurologic field
