Applying to Stanford Anesthesiology
Residency Program

The Stanford Anesthesiology Residency Program offers a 3 year Advanced Program, a 4 year Categorical Program, and a Combined Pediatric-Anesthesiology Residency Program. We accept all applications through the AAMC Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) only. Please contact your medical school for information regarding the process for submitting application materials.  We also fill all of our positions through the National Residency Match Program (NRMP).

Our deadline for receipt of completed applications through ERAS is October 15th.

We will not be recruiting for our combined Internal Medicine-Anesthesiology program this upcoming season.

• Completed ERAS application
• Personal Statement
• MSPE Letter
• Medical School Transcript
• USMLE Scores
• 3-4 Letters of Recommendation
• ECFMG paperwork (including Medical Board of California PTAL, if applicable)

We will have 100% Virtual Interviews for the 2026-2027 residency application cycle. Interviews are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays in October, November, December and January. The evening prior to the interview day, we invite applicants to join a virtual social hour with some of our current residents. Each interview day begins virtually at 8:00am and concludes by 2:30pm.  Each candidate will meet with the Residency Program Director, Department Chair, three members of the Resident Selection Committee, and a chief resident.

The Stanford Anesthesiology Residency Program offers several different training opportunities:

• 12 Categorical Positions (Program #1820040C0)
• 14 Advanced Positions (Program #182004A0)
• 2 Combined Pediatrics/Anesthesiology Positions (Program #1820726C0)
• 2 Anesthesiology & Critical Care Education for Leaders (ACCEL) (Program #1820040C1)

If you are applying to one of our combined training programs you will need to apply directly in ERAS to the combined program. (If you are interested in one of the categorical programs, too, you will also need to apply through ERAS to the categorical program of your choice.)  For those candidates interviewing for a combined position, you will interview in both programs over a period of two days.

The Stanford Anesthesiology Program also offers affiliated PGY1 (intern) positions in the area. You must apply separately through ERAS to each of these internships.  Through NRMP, you will have the ability to link the internship with our Advanced Program.
