The department selects candidates who have demonstrated outstanding academic performance
and research abilities. Students will match for PGY-1 positions starting in July 1,
2009 or CA-1 (PGY-2) positions beginning in July 1, 2010. Candidates who have completed
a clinical base year will not be eligible for a categorical position. We like to
see USMLE scores above 215 on the first attempt. COMLEX scores are accepted, and
we like to see them in the 600 range. Our program does not currently accept/sponsor
residents on J1 or H1B visas. Deadline for application is January 1, 2009 and the
deadline for interview will be February 1, 2009.
Medical students who are thinking about the University of Missouri program should
realize that, generally, the anesthesiologist is the only doctor in the operating
room involved in total patient care. As a result, students in their senior year
should concentrate on acquiring a comprehensive understanding of physiology, pharmacology,
and pathophysiology. Doing 4th-year rotations in cardiology, pulmonary medicine,
and anesthesiology are excellent ways to prepare for an anesthesiology residency.
