What are the minimum application requirements?
We require that all PGY-1 applicants apply through ERAS. As part of your ERAS application, you need to submit a copy of your USMLE or COMLEX transcript. You need to have passed Part I of the USMLE or COMLEX exam in order to apply and Part II prior to match. A maximum of one (1) fail on any part of the USMLE (Pt I, Pt II CK & CS) or COMLEX (Pt I, Pt II CE & PE) examinations will be allowed and scores passing and above will be considered.
All applicants not currently in a formal ACGME or AOA accredited program need to have graduated from medical school within the last two years. International students/graduates need to participate in a minimum three-month formal rotation in the U.S. sponsored by a medical school, hospital, or residency program in order to be considered for an interview. The formal rotation must include documented hands-on patient care including presenting patients, assessing histories and performing physical examinations, as well as other tasks assigned under the supervision of a U.S. licensed attending physician. Please note that at the present time we do not sponsor visas.
