How to Apply

Application deadline

  • December 31

Application format

  • This year in addition to Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS), we will utilize CentralApp for our review process. CentralApp was started as a low-cost alternative to ERAS in plastic surgery 5 years ago and it is now used specialty wide (learn more about CentralApp). We are piloting this platform with the hope that in future years we can remove the financial barriers created by progressive application fee structures of ERAS. As you will see from the questions, CentralApp also promotes holistic application review by focusing on quality application content rather than quantity. There is no cost for you to use CentralApp.
  • Upon accessing CentralApp, you will be instructed to create a secure account that will be verified by your medical school dean's office, who will submit your transcripts and MSPE directly through the portal. Letters of recommendation should be requested through CentralApp in order for you to have a complete application for us to review. The Match will remain with the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP). Please direct any questions about the application to help@accessgme.com.
  • We are following recommendations from the Coalition for Physician Responsibility and Association of Anesthesiology Core Program Directors (AACPD) to promote equity and access, and our program will have all virtual interviews again this season.
  • Residency applications for the Anesthesiology Residency Program are submitted via CentralApp and Electronic Residency Application Service.
  • The Anesthesiology Residency Program at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center participates in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP).
