How to Apply

Residency Application Requirements

All applicants must apply through the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS). The Office of Student Affairs at your medical school will be able to help you access the electronic system. In order to be complete, your application packet must include the ERAS common application form, personal statement, 3 letters of recommendation, USMLE or National Board scores and your medical school transcript. (Please note: We must have your transcript by our deadline in order for your file to be considered.) If you did not take the USMLE, please let us know that.

The deadline for acceptance of application materials for the 2012 Match is October 15, 2011. All letters of recommendation (except Deans' letters) must be received by the deadline. (Deans' letters will be expected by November 6.) (Please note: our program is very strict about the deadline.) Interviews will be granted by invitation only.

All candidates who have submitted applications will receive either an invitation or regret letter no later than the first week of November. Both will be sent to the email address you provided on your ERAS application. If a regret letter is returned due to a full mailbox, it will not be resent, so please be sure to check your mail often and clear your box of large files.
