*On 1/15/2024, our program’s Rank Order List was finalized and certified with the UM GME Office. We recognize in-person visits can be beneficial to an applicant as they consider the institutions and cities in which they choose to continue their education and live. To preserve the program-applicant relationship, we pledge to not alter our Rank Order List for the duration of this recruitment cycle, in every circumstance, without exception. The UM GME Office has been notified and confirmation can be found on the Dates Rank Order Lists Certified posted on the GME Office website under Prospective Residents/Fellows.


Applications are all through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). We offer four positions each year for our five-year categorical program.  

Applicants need to submit only one application for the categorical program [note that a separate application to the Pediatrics residency is NOT needed]:
