Application Process
Thank you for your interest in the San Francisco Orthopaedic Residency Program (SFORP). We participate in the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) for our annual match. We offer three (3) categorical orthopaedic surgery residency positions each year with a total of fifteen residents participating in our program annually. Contact your medical school Dean’s office to obtain the ERAS application.
We require three (3) letters of recommendation and a letter from the Dean of your medical school. Be sure to have your letters of recommendation sent directly to your Dean’s office. It is your responsibility to follow up with your selected references to assure your information has been sent and received by your Dean’s office prior to the deadline.
After your application materials have been uploaded to ERAS, our program director and interview committee will review your application. It is imperative that you include all of the required documentation with your application in order for you to be considered for an interview.
The deadline for application materials each year is November 1.
When submitting your personal statement, highlight your unique qualities and experiences and explain your specific interest and future goals in orthopaedic surgery.
Our interview invitations will be sent no later than December 1, annually. We will conduct two (2) days of interviews on the third Friday and Saturday in January of the new year. You will only be required to participate in one of these two interview days. Please allow a total of 3 hours for your interviews.
