How to Apply

We appreciate your interest in the Psychiatry Residency Training Program at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Please review the following information and related links before submitting your application through ERAS.
Applicants must register with the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) to be eligible for an interview. The program uses the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) for its PGY-1 positions.
To receive a complete evaluation by the program, apply on time with all information in ERAS (personal statement, three letters of recommendation, exam scores, etc.) Our program encourages that all sections previously found in the supplemental ERAS application be completed, including the most meaningful experiences, geographic preference, and signal.
Our program received an average of 541 applications per year in the last six cycles.
Additional information about what is new in the 2026 MyERAS Application Season can be found here.
OUR MATCH PLEDGE
We expect 5 PGY-1 positions to start July 1, 2026, and we plan to interview 54 candidates. We do not anticipate any transfer positions opening.
The program will extend interview invitations starting September 26, 2025. Several rounds of invitations will be used. We will not invite more candidates to interview than we have interview slots available. If a candidate cancels, additional invites may be sent out until our last interview date.
Candidates requiring special consideration, including those in a couples match, can contact our program. (These situations should ideally be detailed in your personal statement and geographic preferences.) We cannot guarantee an individualized response to every inquiry.
All interviews will be virtual and held on Thursday mornings starting October 16, 2025. Our last interview date is January 8, 2026.
We will certify our rank list by February 1.
