No. of Positions

Thirteen residency positions are available on a competitive basis for the 2026 Match cycle.

How to Apply

Applications will be accepted through October 31, 2025. We accept applications only via ResidencyCAS, and participate in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP).

Interviews

Interviews will be conducted virtually from October through January. Applicants selected to interview will be notified via ResidencyCAS on the basis of academic achievement and evaluation of a personal statement and letters of recommendation.

Our program employs a comprehensive, holistic review of application materials that considers the unique qualifications and experiences of each individual. Diversity is a source of strength, creativity, and innovation for UW–Madison. We value the contributions of each person and respect the profound ways their identity, culture, background, experience, status, abilities, and opinion enrich the university community.

Second Look Opportunities

We will be offering several in-person and virtual second look opportunities this Match cycle. These visits allow candidates to get an in-depth perspective of our program, interact with residents, faculty and staff, and explore the Madison area (in-person opportunities).

Second look opportunities are optional and will have no bearing on an applicant’s positioning on the rank list. More information about second look opportunities will be provided with initial interview offers.
