General Information

Applications will only be accepted through ERAS, the Electronic Residency Application Service. No applications or supporting materials (letters, score reports) will be accepted via mail or fax. There is no minimum score requirement for the USMLE or COMLEX, however, applicants with any failing score(s) will not be considered for an interview.

Application deadline is November 15.

In order to apply you must submit: Dean’s Letter, Department of Medicine letter if you are an American medical school graduate, two additional letters of recommendation from attendings who supervised you, medical school transcript, personal statement, curriculum vitae and USMLE transcript with Step 1 and 2 scores or COMLEX transcript with Level 1 and Level 2 scores.

You must have graduated medical school within the last five years in order to apply.

Supplemental ERAS Application

For the current 2021-22 Recruitment Season, the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) has created a supplemental application for candidates applying in Internal Medicine to be used in a pilot to assess the helpfulness of additional questions for the holistic review of candidates by programs. Applicants to our Internal Medicine Residency Program are not required to submit the supplemental application; it is entirely voluntary during this cycle. Regardless of the completion of this supplemental application, every candidate’s ERAS application will be reviewed in detail. We strongly encourage candidates to complete the supplemental application in order to assess the usefulness of this tool during the pilot, but we will continue to review every application whether the supplemental questions are completed or not.

International Medical School Graduates

If all requirements are met prior to submitting our rank list, we can sponsor J-1 and H1-B visas.

We will not interview an International Medical Graduate without ECFMG certification.

US clinical “observerships” are not required, but are helpful.

Program Size and Application/Interview Notification Process

A committee reviews the applications to determine if an interview will be granted. Due to the volume of applications received we will not be able to interview all applicants. Our interview session starts in early November and ends in January. There are no interviews between Christmas and New Year. We conduct all interviews on weekdays; we do not interview on weekends.

If selected for an interview, you will receive an invitation via e-mail to the address you submitted to ERAS.

Application status is never communicated to applicants by phone. We do not provide updates on an application.

Due to our very high number of applicants, we apologize that we will not be able to notify you if you are not selected for an interview.
