Is your program taking part in “signaling” as part of the 2025 MATCH cycle?
No, our program is not using signals this year as part of the 2025 MATCH cycle. We look at every application wholistically and do not use signals to “grant interviews”. If you are interested in GW, please send us your application and let us know your interest in person at the interview!
Does your program guarantee a position for preliminary medicine residency?
We no longer are an Advanced program with a guaranteed preliminary medicine position. We are now a categorical program.
What matching program do you use?
We participate in the Neurology Residency Match Program which is administered by ERAS, a program of the Association of American Medical Colleges.
What kind of application do you accept?
We request that application be made through ERAS. You can visit their website to learn about the requirements and how to apply.
When and how will you notify candidates about interviews?
We begin reviewing applications September 25th and will begin sending interview invitations starting September 30th. If selected, candidates will be contacted primarily by e-mail via ERAS. The interview notification time period runs through the month of October. Candidates may be contacted at any point during this time period, depending upon when their application was received and reviewed.

Is clinical experience in the United States required?
Certainly, prior clinical experience in the United States is advantageous. US experience is “highly recommended" and increases the applicant’s competitiveness for acceptance”
