Residency Program

How to Apply

THANK YOU for your interest in our program. We are delighted that you are considering a residency at MassGeneral Hospital for Children. To learn more about our program, we suggest you visit our Curriculum homepage.

We are participating in the electronic residency application service (ERAS) for the July 2010 NRMP match for incoming PL1 applicants. We will not accept applications through any other mechanism. The deadline for completed applications is December 1, 2010.

Please arrange to have at least three letters of recommendation in addition to the Dean's letter included in your ERAS package. We prefer letters from mentors who know you well. We do not require a letter from your Pediatric Chairman.

We look forward to hearing from you in the fall when you begin your application process through ERAS. If you are enrolled in a U.S. Medical School and wish to do a rotation with us, please contact the Harvard Medical School registrar's office. Alternatively, direct contacts can sometimes be helpful between faculty members at your school and specific faculty members here at MGH.

Inquiries about PL2 or PL3 positions should be addressed to: residencyrecruitment@partners.org. We are grateful for your interest and look forward to your application.

Sincerely yours,

Shannon E. Scott-Vernaglia, MD
Pediatric Program Director

Emmett V. Schmidt, MD, PhD
Vice Chair for Education
