What the program's website says
Sentences quoted word for word from the program's own website, updated Nov 16, 2026. They are not checked by us: a page may be old or cover several programs, so open the source link before you rely on it.
- Interviews
Please let us know of your interest during the interview season. source
Unfortunately, due to the highly competitive nature of our program, we are unable to offer interviews to all qualified applicants. source
For those who accept an invitation to interview with our program, we hope to make your virtual interview a valuable and educational experience. source
We will be hosting all our interviews via Zoom. source
- Visa
The University of Washington has a new visa policy requirement for students that are currently on F-1 student visas. source
In the event you match with the University of Washington General Surgery residency program, your F-1 visa will convert to an Optional Practice Training (OPT) for the R1 year. source
Assuming H1-B visas will continue to be offered to OPT students, the new visa policy requires that we receive pre-approval from our GME office and the International Service offices in order to place you on our rank list. source
- USMLE / COMLEX
USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 scores of 220 or better on each. source
The exam(s) must have been taken in the last three years and you must have passed all parts of the exam (including clinical knowledge and clinical skills) on the first attempt. source
USMLE score reports will not be accepted. source
- Letters of recommendation
Three letters of recommendation from people familiar with your clinical patient care skills and potential to function as a resident. source

From the program's own website, updated Nov 15, 2026. Staff change, so check the source page before you write, and keep emails short: one clear question, your AAMC ID, and no attachments unless they ask.
Where current residents went to medical school
Counted from the program's own residents page (page 1) on Nov 15, 2026. We count lines that name a country or medical school, not people, and we do not store names, so treat the numbers as approximate and check the page.
The page did not name medical schools in a form we could read.
