Our Institution participates in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP Match); therefore, all applications are accepted through the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS). In addition to reviewing all aspects of applicants’ MyERAS required application, our Program will also be reviewing supplemental data in a holistic approach to recruitment this cycle.

As part of this holistic review, applicants will be considered based on the following Program review criteria:

  • Performance in medical school as shown on their official transcript and dean's letter.
  • Performance on the USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK examinations.
  • Supplemental data including AOA, community outreach, and experiences.
  • Graduation from medical school within the past two years.
  • IMG’s having completed at least six months of clinical experience in the US.

Institutional requirements include ECFMG certification for IMG’s who are offered a contract, and J1 visas are accepted; H1-B visas are not sponsored by our institution.

Note: Matched candidates must complete and pass a mandatory drug screening and background check​
