How To Apply

Criteria

We prefer scores of 80 or higher on the USMLE, that you have graduated from medical school within the last five years and have US clinical experience. These are just preferences. We require that you have no more than 4 combined attempts on USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 and no failures on USMLE Step 2 Clinical Skills. All applicants that meet these criteria go through our screening process and are reviewed by residency faculty members. Meeting our minimum criteria will allow the application to be reviewed. Interviews are granted based on the entire application, not on meeting our minimum criteria.

All applications to the program must be submitted through Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). The deadline is December 31st however early submission is encouraged. We will contact you if we wish to schedule an interview. Interviews will take place from late October through January. Please contact us with any additional questions regarding the application process.
