Matching at Hopkins

So, you've applied, you've interviewed, and now you're looking to match with us. Congratulations! You're on your way to becoming a resident at one of the world's best medical institutions.

Of course, before you start anesthesia training at Hopkins, you have to complete a clinical base year. We offer 8 categorical positions, 4 at Sinai Hospital and 4 at Mercy Medical Center. A categorical position will include your clinical base year and no supplemental rank list is required to rank these 8 positions. At Hopkins, we utilize one rank list that includes both our categorical and advanced positions. You will need a supplemental rank list only if you rank our advanced positions in addition to categorical positions, which is wise if you wish to maximize your chances of matching at our institution. You may, of course, apply to and separately rank the Mercy Medical Center and Sinai Internships on your supplemental rank list in addition to listing their categorical positions. It should be noted, however, that Dr. Schwengel has no control over the rank lists of Mercy Medical Center or Sinai.

You may visit the Mercy Medical Center Internship page here or the Sinai internship page here.

A sample rank list to rank all possible positions at Hopkins with a desire to do your internship at Mercy Medical Center or Sinai would look like this (this list prefers Mercy over Sinai):

Rank Order List (ROL)

1. Hopkins Anesthesiology/Mercy
2. Hopkins Anesthesiology/Sinai
3. Hopkins Anesthesiology Advanced
   Supplemental Rank List:
   1. Mercy IM Internship*
   2. Sinai IM Internship**
   3. If you wish to do an internship outside of Baltimore, your ranking of those programs would go in place of Mercy and Sinai. You may, of course, rank other internships in Baltimore, but we only offer categorical positions with Mercy and Sinai.

*The Mercy interview may be included in the afternoon on your Hopkins interview day.
**You must apply to and interview at Sinai to rank and be ranked by Sinai's stand-alone internal medicine internship, but NOT for the categorical positions. We do not include a Sinai interview on the Hopkins interview day.
