Residency Applicants

Residency Applicants​

We participate in the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) – hard copy applications cannot be considered.  We currently have no unexpected vacancies in the residency and all of our applicant positions are committed through ERAS and the National Residency Match Program (NRMP) or the military match. 

All correspondence regarding the status of your application is conducted by e-mail – applicants should therefore have a reliable e-mail address that is checked in a timely manner.  If you have additional questions, please contact us at unlvemresidency@gmail.com or call our administrative office at (702) 388-7885, ext.3.

Interview Day Details

Interviews will be granted after review of a completed application.  Candidates will be contacted via email by the Program Coordinator if granted an interview.  Interviews occur on Wednesdays at our administrative office located at 901 Rancho Lane, Suite 135 (just off S. Tonopah Drive).  As a result of the format, candidates are able to attend our weekly Grand Rounds conference series when they are not interviewing with one of the faculty or Chief Residents, as well as spend additional time interacting with the EM residents during lunch.

During the interview season, you will have a dedicated resident liaison who will contact you via email the week before your interview day, to help guide you through the process.  Candidates are strongly encouraged to attend the resident 'Meet & Greet' dinner that takes place on the Tuesday evening prior to the interview day, which provides an opportunity to get to know our residents in an informal setting and gain an appreciation of the sense of camaraderie here.  Candidates are also invited and encouraged to do a 'shadowing shift' within the University Medical Center (UMC) Emergency Department, either before or after the interview day, in order to develop additional insight into the dynamic setting of our program.

Candidates have previously had success staying at the Sahara Hotel (formerly called the 'SLS'), which tends to have very reasonable rates and is less than 2 miles from your interview location. 
*COVID-19 UPDATE: Interviews will be conducted virtually for the application cycle. Please see this page for updates when details are finalized. Interviews will include a virtual resident ‘Meet & Greet’ session, typically held on Tuesday evenings.*
