THE NRMP Matching Process at Eisenhower Health

Eisenhower Health participates in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) to provide the opportunity for applicants to consider selection options. The program director(s) and staff evaluate the qualifications of all applicants to the programs before deciding who will be offered positions.
Individuals requesting application information from the fellowship programs are directed to the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). Applicants should submit their application with their required letters of recommendation, transcripts, and dean’s letters through ERAS for first year positions.
Eisenhower Health accepts the universal application and requires all materials to be submitted in full through ERAS before an interview may be scheduled. We will not accept any paper or emailed applications. Additionally, NO Visas will be sponsored.
The deadline for applications is August 15th.

The program director(s) and recruiting team members determine who will be invited to interview. Interviews are scheduled weekly from mid-September through October. Informational program packets are distributed during the interviews. The interview team members then submit their ratings and collectively prepare a rank order of candidates. The designated staff person then enters the ranking list prior to the submission deadline.
As soon as the match results are received and are appropriate to release, the results are shared with each program director and letters of appointment are mailed and e-mailed to each new fellow.
Confidentiality
All information submitted to the NRMP on the rank order lists is confidential. It will not be released or revealed in any manner that permits individual identification of either applicants or programs during the process.
