Application process
All applications must be submitted via the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). An application for a position should be submitted no later than November 1 for residency training to begin July 1 following the transitional or preliminary PGY1 year. For example, for residency beginning July 1, 2024, applications must be submitted by November 1, 2022. Interviews are granted by invitation only. Interviews are scheduled for November, December and January. For further information about the UC Davis Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program, please contact our residency coordinator, David Thomas Wilson, by phone at 916-734-5739 or by email at dthwilson@ucdavis.edu.
For the 2023 ERAS cycle, our program will be collecting and reviewing data from applicants’ supplemental ERAS applications. Completion of the standard MyERAS application is a requirement; completion of the supplemental ERAS application is optional.
In its second year of use, the supplemental ERAS application is designed to help applicants share more information about themselves and assist our program in finding applicants that fit our program’s setting and mission. There is no cost to applicants and participation is optional.
The supplemental ERAS application provides:
- geographic preferences (by division and by urban or rural setting);
- information about an applicant’s most meaningful experiences and other impactful life events, if applicable; and
- program signals.
The supplemental ERAS application will be delivered on a survey platform that is separate from the MyERAS application and must be completed between August 1 and September 16, 2022.

Licensing
All residents must be licensed to practice medicine in the State of California prior to the start of the PG-III training year. Within 180 days of enrollment, a Postgraduate Training License (PTL) is required to practice medicine in California. This license is valid 90 days after 36 months of training. Within that 90-day period, the resident is required to obtain a full medical license.
