What specialties can I train in as a new grad in Utah?
The tracks most often listed here are Medical-Surgical. A residency's advertised track is the unit you would be hired into, so it is worth checking the program page for the specific cohort.
Do I have to live in Utah to apply?
No. Residency programs recruit nationally and most applicants relocate. Licensure is the real constraint: you need a license valid in the program's state before you can start, so check whether that state participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact and how long endorsement takes there.
