Tuition and required textbooks are covered by the University of Chicago Residency Program.
Yes! Throughout all four years of the residency program, whether on clinical service or completing courses or thesis work, you will receive the standard resident salary for PGY1 - PGY4 levels. There will not be a period where you will not have income.
Yes. Each track of our residency has a different ERAS and NRMP designation. If you are interested in both our categorical residency program and one or more scholarship tracks, you will have to select each track separately. In the event that you are selected to interview for a Scholarship Track, you will also need to rank each program separately in the match.
If you are applying in one of our Scholarship Tracks as well as the categorical track, your interview for the Scholarship Track will also serve as your categorical interview.
However, if you choose to apply in more than one Scholarship Track, and are selected to interview, you will have to interview for each Scholarship Track separately (for example: if you want to apply in Medical Education and Public Policy, you will need to interview on both those track dates, but your interview for the categorical track will be included in one of those days).
For each scholarship track, the standard ERAS application form is used. We do recommend that you tailor your personal statement to emphasize why you have an interest in the specific Scholarship Track.
You will also need to apply to the appropriate Master's Program through the program’s independent application process. You must complete this application by the identified Masters' program deadline - typically December 1st. We recommend that you wait until you have been invited to interview before beginning your Master's application. Application fees will be waived and/or covered by the program.

Yes. Depending on the master degree, you will need to provide specific letters of support, MCAT scores (which can replace the GRE requirement), transcripts, etc. Please see the individual Scholarship Track pages and master's degree program sites for more details. Please note, we have confirmed that Harris will accept the LoRs you submitted through ERAS but you will still need to submit the names of your letter writer's as part of the application - please utilize this this email in lieu of their personal emails so they don't automatically receive a request from Harris - harrisadmissions@uchicago.edu.
Our Residency Program will cover the application fee - however, you will need to arrange payment so please reach out directly to the Pediatric Medical Education Office with questions.
